Bloor Research Details How Organizations Can Amplify Endpoint Data Protection and Address the Threat Caused By Removable Media

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 PRNewswire — GuardianEdge, the leading provider of endpoint data protection for the enterprise, today announced the availability of a Bloor Research "Protecting Enterprise Data on the Endpoint — a strategic approach" white paper. Developed by Bloor Research and sponsored by GuardianEdge, this research found that in the last five years the increased number and type of endpoints including laptops, smartphones, etc., have become a significant problem for organizations. Available on the GuardianEdge Web site, the paper details the issues surrounding endpoint data protection and how an organization can effectively select the right vendor to address this crucial issue.

"In light of the increased use of endpoint devices, it is the role of business to understand the costs of not securing these productivity tools and the impact of an endpoint security breach on profits, reputation and personal executive liabilities," said Bloor's IT security Practice Leader and author of the white paper, Nigel Stanley. "Data protection is now a strategic imperative and the purchase of a solution will increasingly be made by business executives."

This in-depth white paper details the key issues surrounding protecting the enterprise data that is accessed by today's devices. Crucial topics include: the cost of mandatory disclosure from compliance regulations, where an organization's data is the most vulnerable, how to secure endpoints from loss or theft, and ultimately, how to solve the problem and select the best vendor.

"The IT security landscape has changed from a system that only dealt with stationary data on desktop computers, to one that now has to take into consideration devices such as laptops, smartphones, thumb drives, CDs and other types of removable media," said Ram Krishnan, senior vice president of products and marketing at GuardianEdge. "If an organization has not deployed some sort of data protection, it is not a question of 'if' but 'when' their confidential data will be compromised."
