PART 1: SECURING DATA IN MOTION
Information can escape from your organization through every endpoint and device, and as an information security specialist, it's your job to make sure that data doesn't get into the wrong hands -- hands that could cause your company's trade secrets to become public knowledge. Even worse, your customer's data could leak out and next thing you know, you are facing a law suit.

In part one of this data protection video series, Spire Security's Pete Lindstrom discusses:

  • How a layered defense aligns with content management, role management and applications
  • The critical non-technical controls that also help to keep data confidential
  • And more
