By
Eltayeb Abuelyaman
Agenda
• Acquaintance
• Why Study Computing Security
• When, where, and for how long should
class meet
Why Study Information Security
• Only a quarter of firms currently use data security tools,
according to new research.
• A study by business and IT analyst Quocirca has found
that that about a quarter of organisations had
implemented data loss prevention (DLP) technology.
• Of those who had introduced DLP, 70 per cent of
respondents claimed they were confident that they could
protect their personal data, while less than ten per cent
of those without DLP systems expressed the same
confidence.
• Bob Tarzey, service director of Quocirca, expressed his
belief that many firms do intend to implement data
security technology but simply have not done so
currently.
Why Study Security (cont.)
• He wrote on it-director.com: "Perhaps the main reason
why 75 per cent of organisations are yet to address DLP
is that they simply have not got around to it.
• The market is young and the issues it addresses security, compliance and employee enablement - are
fast changing”.
• Mr Tarzey added that modern-day companies face a
range of challenges to prevent data loss, including loss
of mobile devices and breaches on social networking
websites.
• Looking for data recovery specialist? Kroll Ontrack has
over 50,000 successful data recovery stories to tell every
year.
Questions ???
