Cyber thieves don’t get pink slips. In fact, their businesses thrive during recessionary times. The data they steal from you can be sold to the highest bidder for a hefty profit.

And today they have more points of entry. Technologies such as social networks and mobile devices make it more difficult for you to track where your confidential data resides and put mechanisms in place to protect it. In fact, reports of data breaches in the United States rose almost 50 percent in 2008, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center.

Add to the mix the ever changing compliance landscape- new PCI mandates and data privacy regulations, looming regulations for financial firms and changes to current regulations such as HIPAA. Clearly you need to understand where your structured and unstructured data lives, how to classify it and how to ensure it does not land into the wrong hands—whether that is a hacker or disgruntled insider.

Attend Data Protection Decisions, a free one-day seminar that brings together industry experts and security practitioners to tackle data protection from all angles. We’ll explain the various technologies in the market, offer advice on integration, deployment and management and explore what new regulations are forcing organizations to build a data governance/data protection strategy to avoid big fines. Attend and return to the office with the knowledge of how to:  

• Build a data security program and discover the top 5 actions you can take today to protect your data
• Evaluate data leak prevention tools and the intricacies behind the pattern matching and intelligence in DLP tools
• Use database activity monitoring tools and evaluate feature sets such as workflow and change management
