Protect Sensitive Data from Leaking out

Data leakage caused by removable media, spyware and malware, and the resulting regulatory compliance issues remains at the top of enterprise IT challenges.

Most data leaks and targeted attacks – inadvertent or intentional – occur at the endpoint and many of these are generated internally. Unmanaged removable media and applications can easily open the floodgates for data to escape into the wrong hands.

Control Peripheral Devices to Eliminate Data Leakage

The proliferation of data loss due to the inappropriate or sometimes criminal use of removable media devices has reached alarming levels. According to recent security reports, 75 percent of Fortune 1000 companies fell victim to data leakage in 2006, with an average cost of recovery that exceeded $5,000,000.

Skye Consult offer leading edge software to protect against Data Leakage, Theft or Loss with LUMENSION.
