Fading into the distance are the days where corporations kept their "secrets" in locked file cabinets behind closed doors. Gone are the days where corporate espionage involved turning employees into moles and late night escapades scurrying away the "11 herbs and spices recipe" in a briefcase.
The new reality of how and where Corporate America stores information has radically outpaced employee security training and a fundamental understanding of how to proprerly handle valuable data. Gone are the days were access to sensitive information required physical access. In todays connected workplace, data is pervasive and access to it from Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) is only accelerating the loss of data control and accountability. -
