Feature Article
Assessing and Reducing Information Exposure
|
As someone responsible for security, you should ask yourself several questions to determine how much of your
corporate information is at risk. While it may sound simple, many organizations don’t take the time to examine information
from all sides, including both an internal view and an external view. As information traverses networks, applications,
endpoints and people, an information exposure assessment of actual data loss risk across networks, Web applications, storage
and endpoints can help companies determine how exposed their information might be. Gleaning visibility into your
organization’s internal and external exposures provides a good view of digital and critical assets.
