In today's 24/7 business world, companies and their customers are consuming, sharing and storing data at an unprecedented rate. This data has in fact become one of an organization's most valuable assets, but unfortunately it can also be its most dangerous.
Most businesses are not aware of the risks associated with this information or the best ways to protect it from harm.
In addition, the use of social media and networking initiatives has brought hidden risks to businesses they never thought possible. The ownership of Internet risk is a gray area, and customers or users of Web sites that do the wrong thing can now expose companies to unseen liability–ranging from data piracy and intellectual property infringement to reputational harm and libel/slander lawsuits.
