Preventing data breaches is a primary challenge. In the past, data protection was simpler because controls focused on one major risk: the network perimeter. By locking down the perimeter, organizations could repel most attacks and keep their information, data, and devices fairly safe.

Those simple days are gone forever. Today, enterprise data flows freely both inside and outside the network and over portable devices such as laptops and smartphones. The byproduct is that data is increasingly exposed to greater risk, including a growing array of threats-not only criminal opportunists, but also your own employees. The enterprise today demands a robust strategy and deployment of integrated solutions that automatically protects all devices and enterprise data, whether they're on or off the corporate network. Companies must adopt industry best practices and help them build a robust security program for effective enterprise data protection. These best practices also enable companies to demonstrate compliance with both internal policies and key government regulations.
