Data and Identity Theft ("10 Minutes" Publication PDF, 41KB)
Session Presentation (PDF, 36KB)

Information has become the new currency of business, and its portability and accessibility are crucial components of a collaborative, interconnected business world.

However, the problem with sharing information is that it can get shared with the wrong people. Whenever highly sensitive or regulated information is lost, misused, or compromised, it falls under the banner of data and identity theft. Examples of sensitive and regulated data include: intellectual property, personally identifable information (birth dates, social security numbers, addresses, etc.), trade secrets, employee and customer data, and payment card data.

Data losses can be devastating. Besides potential fines and lawsuits, security breaches can have a long-term impact on a company’s brand and reputation. Having strong data safeguards in place can help secure a company’s reputation, competitiveness, and financial well-being.

Join us to find out why data and identity theft is a growing problem.

Sustained Compliance Through Automation of Access Recertification and Attestation (PDF, 751KB)

Effective controls that assure appropriate access to key systems and applications are typically the most challenging IT controls for an organization to implement and maintain. When preventive controls such as required approvals for access requests break down, detective controls are crucial to safeguard the IT environment. Access recertification and attestation is a critical part of these detective access controls, but manual recertification processes are costly, time-consuming, and sometimes ineffective. We will explore how access recertification and attestation campaigns can be automated with vendor tools or with your organization’s existing ITSM help desk solution, leading to sustained compliance.
