From tarnished brand reputation and loss of customer confidence, to penalties and fines from regulators, the adverse impact of a data breach are clear. What isn't so clear is how to keep tabs on confidential data without getting in the way of business. The problem is exacerbated with mobile computing devices such as laptops, peripheral storage devices, and easy access to client software with file download and file sharing capabilities, all creating more opportunities for data loss. If the loss compromises customer information, does it violate PCI or HIPAA regulations? If it is intellectual property that is lost, what is the long-term financial impact to the company's profit margin?
