Leading Endpoint DLP Provider to Discuss the Threat of Data Leakage and its Potential Impact on the Enterprise
August 11, 2008 – Philadelphia – Safend, a leading provider of enterprise endpoint Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) solutions, today announced that Susan Callahan, senior vice president of business development and marketing at Safend, will join a panel discussion at the Flash Memory Summit to discuss, “An Integrated Solution for Eliminating Data Leakage Threats via Portable Devices,” on Thursday, August 14, 2008 from 2 to 3 p.m. PT at the Santa Clara Marriott.
More and more organizations are feeling the effects of data leakage. Practically every day, there is a report of a new data breach. Companies spend millions of dollars each year to protect their information from outside threats, but it is becoming more evident that they need to secure data from within. Something as simple as a USB flash drive can be used to capture and exploit confidential company information in seconds. During this panel Callahan, along with industry experts from CacheBase, Discretix and Kilopass Technology, will discuss what options are available to protect confidential data from unauthorized users without hindering productivity.
Attendees will learn:
• Tips to keep company data safe without limiting productivity
• How to eliminate data leakage threats as they relate to compliance issues such as HIPAA, SOX and PCI
• The benefits of protecting company data with endpoint security tools
