Security Sessions: Protecting data when it’s increasingly mobile

There’s no doubt that the corporate world is more mobile, with employees working both on the road, in their homes or down at the local coffee shop. A huge challenge for enterprise IT security is to secure the data that moves with the employees - not just from device-to-device, but when the data moves from email to app to the cloud and back to the corporate network.

In the latest episode of Security Sessions, I spoke with Brett Hansen, executive director of Dell’s Data Security Solutions division, about data-in-motion challenges and protecting data once it leaves the company.

Among the highlights of the video are the following sections:

1:43 How companies can strike the balance between securing data in motion with employees that are working in many different locations.

3:15 Why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for protecting data,

5:02 Why large companies need to be concerned about the security of small-business partners.

6:26 Best practices on increasing employee awareness for endpoint data security, including whether to increase consequences for employees who ignore or skirt data protection policies.
