Lumension Security to Host Industry Webinar on Protecting Vital Business Data

Scottsdale, Ariz (PRWEB) October 16, 2008 -- In today's borderless enterprise, sensitive information is more at risk to external and internal threats. Hundreds of new security threats emerge via email viruses, website malware (http://www.lumension.com/industry.jsp?id=121087&rpLangCode=1&rpMenuId=118399&rpLeadSourceId=2007), rogue applications, lost and/or stolen USB devices and targeted malicious attacks every day. Many financially motivated criminal organizations are targeting specific companies and information for corporate gain, while employees maliciously steal or accidentally lose data. With the increase of data breaches and the average cost of data loss skyrocketing to more than $350,000**, protecting vital business data has never been more important.
