Data loss? Don't even think about it. Just think Websense.
You can't afford data loss. But you can afford the best protection.
If you've got data, you've got problems. No one needs to tell you that customer names, credit card numbers, and transaction records must be protected. But they tell you anyway. Governments, insurance companies, and all kinds of agencies make you follow rules that regulate your data. It's tough to keep up, especially when tight budgets mean fewer IT staff.
As reported by the Ponemon Institute, the average per-person expense for a data breach in 2010 was $214, with the average organizational cost at $7.2 million. Factors including detection, escalation, notification, response, and lost business feature into the overall cost.
The stakes are high in data security. You pay a high price if you don't have adequate data security.
- Fines. No matter how complex the regulations, if you're caught in noncompliance, you face stiff penalties and fines.
- Productivity. Enforcing the rules for data security can create complicated business processes and restrict employees from using tools designed to boost productivity.
- Reputation. A disparaging post to your company's Facebook page can send negative publicity to millions in a matter of minutes.
The innocent origins of a million-dollar data loss.
- Diligent Diane sends a file with 5,000 patient records to her family Gmail account so she can analyze it tonight at home.
- Curious Kenny, Diane's son, sees the email and sends it to a friend because they're working on a school assignment, "What my mom does."
- The friend's dad is a reporter for the local newspaper. He realizes that this is a breach of confidential information and reports it to the authorities.
- Diane's company pays $1.2 million ($204 per patient record) to remediate losses, they take a huge reputation hit from negative publicity, and doctor referrals drop to a dribble.
