Event Details Four factors drive Data Leak Prevention (DLP) – laws, regulations, governance and deterrence. While date leak as a concept is not new, the ways in which it is understood and managed has continuously changed. The evolving DLP paradigms are being influenced by the need to comply with a plethora of laws and regulatory requirements as also the emerging conscious move towards better governance. The importance of good DLP systems has transcended technology and is today regarded as an important ingredient of good governance. Companies with demonstrated competence in data security management claim it to be a contributor to their strategic competitive advantage.

From a compliance perspective, DLP has become an important issue to manage. As an example, financial regulators globally are focusing on the need to ensure that financial, banking and insurance data leakage are controlled and are insisting that any leakage is adequately reported. With phenomenal growth in data volumes, there is no option but to deploy a totally automated solution to handle the growing menace of data leakage.

A quick analysis of technology news today will show that the domination of network hacking and perimeter penetration is fading. What catches the attention of readers now relates to loss of hundreds of thousands of pieces of personally identifiable information. As we keep realizing the inherent value of ‘data,’ we are also looking at newer and more comprehensive ways to secure it. Securing data and preventing its leakage goes beyond storing it well and ensuring that it is backed up adequately.

This session will look at DLP at from different perspectives; from the view-points of data content, regulatory requirements, compliance with complex legal demands, and trans-national needs that do not necessarily converge. In addition, the presentation will look at the governance and deterrent dimensions that drive the DLP management cycle.

The session will also see a quick review of the solutions that are emerging in the market to meet the compliance requirements that addresses data leaks in organizations that are bound by compliance requirements of some of the better known laws; standards and good governance practices. Some of the well known global regulatory requirements that need compliance with DLP include Basel-II, SOX, HIPAA and various local regulations dealing with controls and security of information. These regulations and laws are increasingly being brought within well known security, risk management and governance frameworks like COSO, COBIT, ISM3, ISSAF, etc.
