Encryption and Data Leak Prevention

Provilla

Every week there are several highly publicized, damaging, and embarrassing disclosures and reports of breaches of private information including customer records, employee records, and intellectual property. In response to these threats of data leakage, many enterprises have successfully deployed or are in the process of deploying an encryption solution.
But does encryption provide enough protection against the various data leakage scenarios that are playing out again and again across the world? Encrypting the files,hard disk, or removable USB drive may have protected the data if it was lost or stolen, but could not have provided the protection needed to thwart these Insiders.
Encryption is a great first step toward protecting your sensitive data. But it is not sufficient for preventing data leakage. A Data Leak Prevention (DLP) solution can complement your encryption project by extending your protection to other significant data leakage threats.
