Around the world, organisations struggle to remain ahead of constantly evolving threats to the security of their data. The risks are many:

• Intellectual property representing years of research and development falling into the hands of competitors
• Sensitive corporate records leaked to hackers, hacktivists and malicious governments
• Data breaches involving customers' personally identifiable information about finances or health records, and the resulting damage to brands and customer loyalty
• Fines and other costs associated with failure to comply with data security mandates

Many organisations in financial services, healthcare and other regulated industries implement data security policies because they are required to. Meeting compliance regulations is important, but even the strictest compliance requirements can still leave sensitive data vulnerable to malicious parties capable of breaking into encrypted USB storage devices and extracting confidential data from them.

This paper from Imation Mobile Security explains when compliance alone may not offer the protection enterprises need to prevent data breaches that can cost millions of dollars, inflict untold damage to corporate brands and customer relationships, and invite weeks or months of negative publicity.
