Palisade Systems Data Leak Device Finding Up to 100 Policy Violations During Initial Risk Assessments for Organizations Over Two Hour Period
Posted on: Tuesday, 23 January 2007, 09:00 CST
AMES, Iowa, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Palisade Systems, a leading provider of content monitoring and filtering products, today announced that its Risk Assessment Program is discovering up to 100 policy violations over a two hour evaluation for mid to large size enterprises. Each policy violation accounts for sensitive data accidentally or maliciously being sent outside an organization's network without company authorization. Sensitive data that is leaking from each organization's network could include proprietary data, intellectual property, social security numbers, account information, credit card numbers, etc. The risk assessments are performed using Palisade Systems' mature content monitoring and filtering product, PacketSure, which is able to detect and block outgoing data that is not authorized to leave an organization's network.
Palisade Systems' Risk Assessment Program provides an organization with an accurate and comprehensive report of their network traffic and potential security threats to its sensitive data by identifying and assessing:
-- Complete Network application use and traffic visibility. -- Risk exposures to confidential information. -- Confidential information being shared and distributed. -- Potential compliance regulation violations. -- Potential liability exposures. -- Network use and security policy violations. -- Malicious activities and security vulnerabilities that open backdoors to critical assets.
Palisade Systems can complete an assessment over a period of 3 days. For the assessment, either a Palisade Systems' engineer or the company's network personnel install a passive network appliance and monitor network traffic, application use, and content, looking for any network security or compliance issues. The report provides a clear look into the effectiveness of the organization's existing network security and data protection strategy.
"Federal compliance regulations are mandating companies protect their private data, but offer no suggestions and specific language on how companies should protect their sensitive data from insider threats," said Kurt Shedenhelm, president and CEO of Palisade Systems. "Palisade's Risk Assessment Program provides valuable tools and information that companies can use to identify internal threats on their sensitive data, and know exactly where gaps exist in their current security infrastructure and corporate policies, resulting in the prevention of compliance violations, fines, legal action and unwanted negative PR."
