How safe is your business data outside the firewall?

The Mobile Business World

The use of mobile devices by workers offers business agility and greater productivity to organisations - but along with these benefits, come risks. Mobile handheld devices now offer greater storage and anytime/anywhere internet and email access to the corporate network. All this means that more and more commercially sensitive data is being held outside of the corporate firewall on smaller, more easily lost or stolen devices.

• Increasing employee productivity
• More responsive customer service (employees are better informed = shorter response times)
• Faster execution of strategy (for example, new procedures, pricing)
• Improved quality of decision-making based on ‘real-time’ information
• Increased knowledge-sharing amongst workers, customers and partners
• Improved work/life balance leading to increased staff satisfaction/ lower staff turnover
• Lower IT staff time and hardware costs
• Improved business resilience through being able to react more quickly in an “event”
• Enhanced corporate image

The Problem...

• Nearly 4000 laptops a week are lost in just eight major European airports alone
• 1000 laptops were left in London taxi cabs  in the period June – December 2007
• Approximately 10,000 mobile phones are left in the back of London taxis each month
• In 2007, 57% of data breaches were as a direct result of device or medium loss.
• 65% of mobile workers admit to failing to adhere to corporate security policy
• Identity theft is the fastest growing crime

Researchers, who examined recent data breaches, discovered the cost to the company ranged from £84,000 to £3.8m and in addition, customer churn rose by an average 2.5% as their trust and confidence in the company failed.
