Consider Enhanced Cyber Security For Your Business

The issue of cyber security has been given greater attention following the WikiLeaks scandal involving the United States military. While organizations and businesses often invest in some level of digital security, due to specific compliance requirements (such as HIPAA), most remain inadequately protected from security threats.

Standard document security features typically protect data at the "company gateway," or between the internal network and the outside world. However, most systems do little to protect information from being leaked by an individual outside of the enterprise perimeter. While the system designed to provide cyber security for your company may appear ideal by design, it could actually contain many flaws.

Breaches in security happen primarily because the technological environment is changing in three key areas:

• Mobile workers are on the rise leaving critical information vulnerable on laptops, iPhones and other mobile devices.
• Cloud computing is gaining popularity, which provides for document storage outside the enterprise perimeter.
• The world is becoming more global, with businesses sending and receiving information with colleagues and customers literally across the globe.

We strongly advise all businesses to consider investing in advanced security solutions to protect information at the document level. For some businesses, general liability coverage is simply not enough and your business may be at risk in the event of a security breach.
