Identify and Secure Sensitive Data.

In light of today’s regulatory and compliance environment, organizations face tremendous hurdles working to identify and secure sensitive data. Over the past few years, hundreds of millions of personal data records have been exposed due to security breaches.  Sensitive information is not simply on one server; it is distributed across networks on desktops, laptops, and servers and buried within long-since forgotten files and e-mails.

Nearly every state has already enacted privacy or data breach laws while significant federal and industry regulations (i.e., 201 CMR 17.00, Red Flag Rules, HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA, FISMA, PCI, SOX, etc.) also require compliance with privacy standards.  This webinar focuses on technologies that solve these problems.
