Introduction
Data leaks are a serious problem for organizations everywhere and stealing very sensitive information is, all too often, as easy as copying data to a USB thumb drive and walking out the door.
Intentional theft is just one aspect of the problem, however. Far more often, innocent and well-meaning employees lose very sensitive data stored on a laptop hard drive, a mobile phone or device, or a CD-ROM, which can be a very embarrassing and costly mistake for your organization. News stories
of companies and organizations that have compromised customers’ credit card data, private health records, or classified government information, are far too common.
Whether it’s a lost laptop (left in a taxi cab) or human error (posting sensitive data on a public Web site), the consequences of data leaks can be devastating for everyone involved. Naturally, you don’t want your organization to be the next big story — which is why you’re reading this book!
About This Book
This book describes the business, legal, and technical aspects of data leaks. We look at the problem of data leakage, the business challenges it presents, the legal requirements for protecting private data, and the various technical solutions available from security companies such as Sophos.
Foolish Assumptions
We assume that you’re reading this book because you need to understand and address a very serious problem for organizations worldwide (and perhaps more specifically, your organization) — data leakage — and you just can’t wait for the movie to come out! Although this book will certainly make you aware of how your own personal data may be at risk, its focus is on corporate data security and specific technical solutions for the enterprise.
