Information Leakage Prevention
"Protect your sensitive information."
Today’s security professionals face a daunting challenge: Protecting the organization’s most valuable asset, its information, amidst widespread investment in new, more efficient communication technologies.
Data breaches are rapidly becoming the forerunner of IT security concerns, in part because of the increase in both the frequency and severity of such breaches. For security professionals, the pressure to provide data security is influenced by three factors:
- regulatory compliance
- mitigating the risk and associated cost of a breach
- protecting confidential data
The average information leak costs organizations approximately $182 per record (according to the Ponemon Institute), averaging roughly $4,800,000 per breach in total. The high cost of a breach can have a profound effect on organizations market presence, and competitive advantage as a result of damage to brand and reputation, and loss of customers. As organizations invest millions in business systems increasing the availability of information to build or maintain a competitive edge, there remain a slew of security-related considerations, including:
- Where is the organization’s confidential & sensitive data?
- How, where, and when is the data transmitted and by whom?
- How can the data be controlled and protected?
- What is my organization’s financial risk (from a leak)?
Future Com will analyze network communications using leading industry technologies to assess and verify data security policies and make recommendations for enhanced information leakage prevention solutions.
Being in the industry for over seventeen years, Future Com recognizes the challenges faced by today’s IT managers and administrators and the need for proper product implementation and tuning. Too often companies spend a great deal of money on equipment that is installed and configured utilizing basic features and evolved network architectures. With certified network engineers, Future Com can address this issue through professional services that ensure correct deployment, tuning and knowledge transfer. IT administrators live in a “Perception is Fact” world and when companies spend money on solutions that is what they expect…. solutions, not equipment. Future Com is ready to help you maximize resource utilization, simplify your operation and improve network security.
