What confidential data is being copied to USB devices or sent via email, IM, FTP?
Who is copying data on the endpoint or sending this data across the network?
Who would care most if this data was leaked outside the company?
The Symantec DLP Risk Assessment data shows that 1:400 emails contain confidential information. For example, let’s assume each employee sends only 20 emails per day (at the same company with 10,000 employees). That’s over 500 emails that contain confidential data per day.
Symantec and Forrester Consulting survey (February 2007) shows that 1:2 companies lost data on USB drives.
