CREDANT confirm Aberdeen Group Study findings

CREDANT Technologies have said they agree with the findings of the Aberdeen Group and that they also believe that more organisations have adopted a centrally managed, policy-centric, file-based data encryption strategy over full disk encryption.

This helps organisations to avoid data loss while assisting with stabilized levels of business productivity.

Aberdeen’s original study which was entitled “Data Loss Prevention: Little Leaks Sink the Ship,” found that nearly twice as many best-in-class organizations currently use file-based encryption to protect against inadvertent disclosure of sensitive data by trusted insiders.

It also disclosed that the greatest risk of data leakage is related to the endpoints, or to the behaviour of the end-users at the endpoints.

CREDANT now agree with these points and say that increased market adoption of centrally managed, intelligent file-based encryption was all the proof that was needed to show that comprehensive data loss prevention (DLP) strategy is required to protect data with encryption at all endpoints and this includes USB drives.
