Dear Colleague,

With a new year upon us, now's the time when many IT departments re-evaluate their security plans to ensure they've accounted for the year's most likely threats.

And so what is the #1 security risk that the majority of CIOs agree needs to be addressed in 2010?

Negligent insiders.

That's right. Not viruses, or malware, or other external attacks. CIOs are extremely concerned that internal people will lose sensitive data through their own negligent actions.

Compounding the problem is the fact that every year more mobile devices enter the workplace.

Currently these devices are being lost or stolen at the rate of 800,000 per year, but if experts' predictions prove right and 73% of our enterprise workforce is mobile by 2012...

...consider how much worse the "negligent insider" risk will be two years down the road when three-fourths of our employees use mobile devices to store company data.

Manpower Demonstration Research Corporation (MDRC) already has a highly mobile workforce and a lot to lose from a single "negligent insider" incident.

Composed of federal, non-profit, medical, and insurance agencies, MDRC's hundreds of employees throughout the U.S. rely on mobile devices to store and transport sensitive intellectual property.

Not only must MDRC comply with multiple regulatory requirements, they also undergo annual National Institute of Standards and Technology audits to prove that proper protocols are in place to handle sensitive data.

So when they wanted to implement a national internal threat-protection solution for their entire network, they chose Zecurion's Zlock™.

MDRC's administrators now have full control over their peripherals. Using their existing Active Directory user groups, system administrators can:

• Control access to USB devices, network adapters, modern floppy, CD, and DVD drives, and USB, LPT, and COM ports
• Prevent employees from walking out with confidential information copied to external devices, and
• Actively monitor for potential threats.

What led MDRC to choose Zlock™ for their national threat-protection solution?

"We needed a vendor who would work with us to
ensure the strongest possible technology to control data access.
The solution we selected had to also be cost effective and
easy for our network administrators to manage internally."

- Paul Feliu, MDRC CTO and Director of Technology
