Information travels faster and to more people than ever before, far beyond the safety of your firewall. Employees routinely access information on the road, using a growing variety of mobile devices to connect to the network. The network has also opened up to business partners, suppliers and distributors, letting companies share information to an unprecedented degree. And then there's the Internet, providing a channel for your information to reach the world at large.
With so many access points, the network can become a minefield of vulnerabilities. Every notebook, personal digital assistant (PDA) and USB stick is a potential entry point for viruses, worms and spyware. And with so much activity outside the perimeter, you can easily lose control of confidential data.
Read this paper to learn how to confront security challenges by appropriately classifying information and securing it where it lives.
