People, Process, and Technologies Impact on Information Data Loss

Organizations lose proprietary information daily due to hackers, insiders, or business partners.Most organizations assume this issue can be addressed with technology alone, but that is not realistic. This paper will demonstrate how focusing holistically on people, processes, and technology can reduce the impact of data loss. People can be trained to recognize threats such as phishing and social engineering. Processes can address the issue through policies and procedures. Technology can be implemented to monitor and prevent data leaving a business. To be successful, an organization will need support from C level leadership, management will need to identify critical data, and IT, together with Legal and HR, should collaborate on the processes and technological solutions.
