This new eBook addresses the issues involved in migration and presents solutions you can adapt to your own deployment project.

Information security is often understood as having three objectives: protecting the confidentiality of information, preserving information integrity, and ensuring information availability; security measures often help to address more than one objective. However, as a result of changes in the way organizations use and deploy information, there is a growing need for additional security measures directed at protecting the confidentiality of information.

Chapter 8 concludes the examination of information theft prevention by exploring:
• The need for a refined security paradigm to prevent information theft
• Organizational issues that influence the success of information theft prevention programs
• Technical responses to the threat of information theft
