First, we need to identify the three major categories of
data for you:This month's issue of IT Informer includes the following articles:
In
our last blog article, entitled
What is Data Loss Prevention (DLP), we discussed the definition
of DLP and why it’s important to understand. Your data is your
company’s most valuable asset – and ensuring that the data is
protected against “internal” threats is just as important as
securing it against outside threats.
For most companies, data loss is largely attributed to
employees. According to a recent Gartner report:
Being a firm in the Midwest, we commonly value heavy manufacturing
and industrial-based companies. While we service a wide array
of industries in the valuation space, we have noted a growing trend
in the region for start-up information technology companies.
Therefore, we are often charged with the task of determining values
for these fast-paced companies.
We
recently completed the valuation of one such high-growth IT
company. We were engaged to determine the value of equity of

In the world of information technology (IT), there are always a lot of buzz words and new terminology. From cloud computing to virtualization to social media to mobile apps, it’s a miracle small- and mid-sized businesses can stay on top of it all.
And, there is a yet new term that you may not have heard of, but is a critically important concept to understand when it comes to the security of your network and your data: DATA LOSS PREVENTION (or DLP).
According to Wikipedia:

This trend is obvious in the consumer space – we are seeing people getting iPads (or similar devices) for use at home on a weekly basis. So how might this affect my business, you ask? The answer: In more ways than you can imagine.
According to a recent Pew Research report, approximately 11% of adults in the United States own a tablet computer – that’s a big number. Of...

Floods
in Thailand that hit in mid-October have had a serious effect
on the supply of hard drives across the globe. Western
Digital (one of the largest hard drive distributors in the world)
announced their December revenues will be at least 60% lower than a
year ago, due to their concentration of supply chain factories in
flooded areas. The flooded areas are estimated to be
responsible for nearly 70% of the world’s demand for hard
drives.
Even for companies who don’t make their hard drives in...

I’m a Venti Skim 3 Equal Latte kind of guy. And along with
that Latte, if I find myself in between meetings or out of town,
I’ll usually sit down to work for a while. Connecting to the
Wifi network at Starbucks (or any public wifi hotspot) might be one
of the biggest (and most misunderstood) security dillemas business

purchased just one year ago can quickly become obsolete.
When that happens, what should you do with your old cell phone?
