Improve Data Protection Processes With Content Discovery, Monitoring and Filtering

Overview

The traditional methods of protecting data are no longer effective enough. Security managers must take additional steps to ensure data owners and security personnel know where the data are located and where they might be sent. At a high level, this is the function of Content Monitoring and Filtering (CMF). In this paper, the author defines the challenges facing organizations as they attempt to protect sensitive information from both unintentional and malicious activities, including what characteristics of data make them an easy mark. The author then looks at arguably the most important approach to meeting these challenges - CMF.
