Meet Stan
and his corporate perimeter.
A Common Reality »
Stan is the CISO of a Fortune 100 company. He’s confident that the resources his company aggressively spends keep information security threats under control. Ask him about information disclosures through P2P file sharing and he’ll say his organization is locked down. He has policies in place prohibiting P2P, a new data leakage protection suite, firewalls, intrusion detection, packet sniffing and encryption. "We’ve got all the angles covered."
What Stan doesn’t realize is the document he just sent to his outside legal counsel was just disclosed by a paralegal within the firm using P2P software. Stan also doesn’t realize that the systems integration consultant he just awarded a project to disclosed his firm’s disaster recovery plan. His own customers are also inadvertently disclosing their credit card numbers and online banking passwords to the tune of skyrocketing fraud costs.
This exposed data is now available to the 550 million users globally utilizing P2P networks to gather files. All of this is happening outside of Stan’s protected perimeter.
