PortAuthority Protects Organizations and Individuals From Information Leaks by Securing Confidential Data Ensuring Compliance and Privacy
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 27 / -- PortAuthority Technologies(TM), the leader in Information Leak Prevention, today announced that PortAuthority 4.0 is on the frontline of data protection, providing organizations with the confidence that their sensitive corporate data and their customers' data is safe, secure and compliant. With the daily reports of information breaches, along with a pending federal law and several state enacted laws, the issue of information leak prevention is top-of-mind for businesses, IT executives and consumers.
One example of how this issue is evolving through regulatory measures is Senate Bill 164, which was recently signed into law by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle. This new law is the latest in a series of statewide initiatives designed to protect consumers and inform them of security breaches that may put their personal data at risk. In 2006 alone, legislation has been introduced in 13 states and in 2005, 22 states enacted laws related to preventing and reporting inadvertent data breaches.
As these laws become commonplace around the country, it becomes increasingly important for businesses to secure their networks and establish policies to prevent these leaks in the first place. Proactive measures by organizations will not only save them from devastating loss of customer trust and confidence but also protect businesses from possible legal and financial ramifications.
