Protecting Critical Data in the Financial Sector

Protecting Critical Data in the Financial Sector

How to Reduce Business Risks by Preventing Confidential Data Leaks



Last year almost USD8 billion was lost via data leakage in the financial industry. Could these leaks and the resulting losses have been prevented?



InfoWatch, one of the leading global Data Leakage Protection (DLP) solution providers is of the opinion that the leaks could have been detected early and minimized quickly, if not predicted and prevented all together.



The company which has partner networks in Russia, the Middle East, India, Malaysia, Western Europe, and Brazil, will be hosting a webinar on protecting critical data in the financial sector on August 12th at 3:00pm. The webinar will be hosted by InfoWatch, Business Development Director, Mr. Andrey Sokurenko.

Consider that critical data leakage, online fraud, loss of reputation and theft via information systems could be mere clicks away for organizations. For financial institutions it is estimated that every customer credit card information that is compromised results in an average USD2,000 loss. While financial losses can be quantified, damage to the organization’s reputation can have even greater impact.



Add to that the very real risk of loan fraud, database leakage, sabotage, and leakage of bank regulations, and the need for better safeguards that provide a higher degree of protection and early detection becomes a necessity.
