64% of UK firms have not deployed data loss prevention
IT management software giant CA says that a staggering 64% of UK firms have not deployed data loss prevention (DLP) technology, so are risking compliance, damage to the brand reputation and reduced competitiveness.That's the headline figure form its European IT securitystudy, which also reveals that the UK lags countries such as France (23%), Ireland (50%), and Italy (60%).
Without taking the necessary steps to identify sensitive data throughout the enterprise and protect it from loss or misuse, UK companies are putting themselves at risk, says Simon Godfrey, director, information security, risk and compliance at CA
According to the study, IT departments across the UK are struggling to deal with compliance issues, such as the payment card industry data security standard (PCI DSS) and the ISO 27001 information security standard.
Surprisingly, they are unaware of how technology could help and many are unable to convince the business of the inherent risks to justify the required investment. This is despite the fact many UK organisations expect data privacy and national security to be the two areas of regulation that will impact them the most in the next five years.
Further, with more organisations adopting cloud computing to process and store data on an infrastructure managed by third parties, the need to apply security policies at the data level is stronger than ever.
The CA survey highlights that IT security is a key factor in enabling the safe use of cloud computing.
DLP tools help with understanding the sensitivity of data and enable real time decisions to be made about what is, and what is not, allowed to be processed and stored in each cloud environment, explains Godfrey.
The survey shows that a lack of time, a 'lack of compliance vision', and scarce resource availability mean that IT managers find it difficult to address many compliance issues. Godfrey insists that all of these problems would easily be solved if organisations could track and control their data more effectively. However, it would not appear to be a priority: the research reveals that 'tracking the use of data' is believed to be less of a hindrance to compliance among UK organisations.
"The survey findings, provide clear and timely evidence that UK organisations require DLP technology in order to effectively support their compliance requirements, protect their brand value, and maximise competitiveness," says Godfrey.
"As network perimeters continue to blur, it is clear that security needs to be applied to the data throughout its lifecycle. Information needs to be understood with policies applied to enforce who can use it and how," he adds.

SHARES OF INTERNET SECURITY SOFTWARE MAKER PLUMMET
Shares of WatchGuard Technologies fell 32 percent after the maker of Internet-security software and hardware said that it would have a wider-than-expected loss this quarter as sales miss forecasts. Shares of the company, based in Seattle, fell $3.24 to $6.95. They have declined 78 percent this year. The company said it expected a loss of 23 cents to 29 cents a share this quarter. It was projected to have a loss of 4 cents, according to analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call. The company attributed the drop in sales to the weak economy and less demand for its more expensive products.
