Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley discusses accidental email data leakage.
IT security and control firm Sophos, today announced the availability of a new Sophos podcast, discussing what companies should be doing to protect themselves against the growing concern of data leakage.
In the podcast, senior technology consultant Graham Cluley is interviewed by Carole Theriault about how data can be lost (either accidentally or deliberately), the consequences companies face that lose confidential data, and what tools are available to prevent data leakage via email.
"Although companies can't strip search employees in order to prevent confidential documents leaving the business premises each day, they can take steps to help fight electronic data leakage," said Carole Theriault, host of the Sophos podcasts. "Research has shown that approximately 95% of data loss is accidental so companies need to wise up to this inside threat. This podcast offers concise advice about what companies need to be doing to try and prevent their employees emailing a document to someone they shouldn't, whether that be accidental or not."
