The Business Case

The business justification for data leak prevention has been clearly demonstrated by industry experts such as the Gartner Group, Forrester Research, Aberdeen, government agencies, and audit consultants.

There may be no initial return on investment (ROI) upside from securing your network and PCs, however if no security measures are in place the amount of losses can be catastrophic to your company. Millions of dollars of intellectual property and identity theft occur every year domestically in the U.S. Addressing these potential data breaches would cause immediate improvements to your company's bottom line.

The bigger picture and potential pitfalls of not securing your sensitive data or protecting your company's endpoints would include:

• government compliance fines
• company brand tarnished
• expensive lawsuits
• public relation nightmares
• stock prices
