Do you know how much of your organization’s data is getting into cyberspace? Daily vital information about your company and your employees is seeping out and probably into the wrong hands.
There are laws in place in more that 40 states that are requiring companies to notify customers if their data may have been compromised. Not only is damage done to the company’s reputation, but also in some states, if a company neglects to inform an individual of possible identity infringement, then they may face civil liability, regulatory and legal cost.
Founder and executive chairman of the board, Timothy Sullivan of Fidelis Security Systems has developed a risk management method that moves the focus from “intrusion” to “extrusion” prevention. Sullivan states that the way companies handle the personal data of their clients and employees are of utmost importance.
Fidelis Security System’s XPS is the only one that runs at such high speeds to thwart unauthorized transfer of sensitive data on all network channels according to Sullivan. The system provides content security to all e-mails, file transfers, and peer communications. Evidence of extrusions can be obtained to enforce laws that control privacy and financial data integrity, states Sullivan.
“Ninety-eight percent of computer investment today involves trying to prevent people from getting into a system. We believe some of that money would be well spent in trying to keep information from getting out.”
