Data Breaches Cost More than Data Protection

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Tony Bradley, Chief Marketing Officer for Zecurion, recently joined host Tom D’Auria on the IMI-TechTalk radio show to talk about data protection. The daily headlines of data being stolen, compromised, and exposed suggests that many organizations either don’t understand the risks, or fail to implement adequate protection. Often, those decisions are driven by dollars–organizations simply feel they can’t afford data loss prevention (DLP) or data encryption technologies that could prevent data breaches.

Unfortunately, many of those businsses end up learning the hard way that this approach is penny wise but pound foolish. Saving a few dollars in the short term can have significant repurcussions when it costs the company exponentially more to recover from a data breach incident.

Protecting Sensitive Information from Inside Threats

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I had the privilege of joining host Tom D’Auria for the weekly IMI-TechTalk radio show once again this week. The show airs weekly on KFNX AM 1100 out of Phoenix, AZ at 3pm local time. Because Arizona doesn’t play Daylight Savings with the rest of the country, though, that means that half the year its on Mountain time and the other half its on Pacific time–so for now the show airs at 6pm Eastern / 5pm Central. If you are not in the Phoenix listening area, you can also listen to the show streamed live via the Web.

The topic of discussion this week was Protecting Sensitive Information from Inside Threats. Tom and I talked about the prevailing perception that information security is an ‘us vs. them’ or ‘inside vs. outside’ battle, while the reality is that internal employees pose a much larger threat than malware or malicious attacks from outside. The default security model relies on simple file and folder permissions to determine access rights for sensitive information, but offer no safeguards or protections regarding what the authorized user does with the data once its accessed.

IMI-TechTalk- Enemy Within: The Insider Security Threat

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

This week, Tony Bradley, Zecurion ‘chief’ product evangelist, joined host Tom D’Auria on the IMI-TechTalk radio show to talk about the internal security threat posed by trusted employees. The show “Enemy Within: The Insider Security Threat” provides listeners with valuable insight into the present and growing internal threat to confidential and sensitive information.

Bradley discusses the issues faced by IT and security administrators and the need to strike a balance between protecting data and enabling productivity. He also stressed how important it is to leverage tools that proactively enforce policies and protect data without further burdening the IT staff.

The show originally aired on Sunday, November 22, 2009 at 5pm Eastern / 4pm Central on KFNX AM 1100 which airs in the Greater Phoenix area. Those outside of the Phoenix area can listen to the weekly show on the live Web simulcast.
