What’s the problem?
A company without data is unimaginable. Data is the lifeblood
of your business – it needs to flow safely between different parts
of your organisation and between team members collaborating on a
project. You cannot afford to lose any of it.
And there are many ways for data to be shared: via email, shared
folders, USB sticks, cloud-storage services, laptops and CD ROMs…
the list goes on.
The danger is that the movement of data poses a big risk for
enterprise. As it travels between users and outside the company,
it could either be leaked accidentally to unauthorized parties or
intercepted and stolen by malicious hackers.
Furthermore, sensitive information and databases stored on your
corporate servers – if not protected properly – might be a tempting
target for cybercriminals and online thieves.
Barely a day goes by without an organisation becoming the
unwelcome recipient of newspaper headlines announcing that
customer data (such as credit card details, passwords or personal
information) has been stolen.
It has become clear that the danger is not just one of losing data
related to your customers but of losing their trust to such an
extent they no longer want to do business with you.
What’s the solution?
ESET provides encryption solutions which enable organizations
to secure data.

on a device accidentally lost by an employee, your business can feel
confident that the sensitive information will not be exposed.
