Don't follow in the footsteps of NASA, get encryption', says expert
/EINPresswire.com/ IT Governance Ltd, the global cybersecurity experts, are warning organisations that unencrypted mobile devices like USB sticks and lap-tops represent a huge risks to organisations' security, reputation and operations.
Alan Calder, CEO of IT Governance, says, "It is incredible that after all the blue-chip companies that have been reported for data breaches recently, we now have to digest the news that NASA, a world-known and respected organisation, has also shown negligence in terms of protecting confidential data."
"My message to all Directors and IT Managers out there will be to encrypt their technology equipment using available data protection tools before it gets stolen or accessed in any other way by unauthorised parties."
Calder advises that a number of security solutions offer organisations better protection and better performance.
SafeGuard Enterprise from leading IT security vendor, Sophos, is the enterprise-wide solution in the Sophos encryption suite of tools. It is a highly configurable and easily manageable solution that can be deployed centrally or remotely across an organisation of any size.
