Our own Dave Shackleford explains how to choose a Data Loss Prevention solution at SearchFinancial Security.
The first -- and arguably most important -- feature of any DLP solution is the depth of content awareness and analysis. These tools need to be able to identify a variety of data types, such as credit card numbers, banking records, personal data and financial statements, all in a number of different formats. There are numerous techniques offered by vendors, ranging from sophisticated regular expression pattern matching to dictionary lookups, but more is usually better, especially with regard to file types (Microsoft Word and Excel documents, database files, email archives, etc.).
Integration with existing security systems, such as endpoint security tools and encryption, as well as IT infrastructure components like Active Directory and network monitoring tools. Most advanced solutions will incorporate auditing actions that correlate detection and prevention actions with the users who initiate them at the host and/or application level.
Accuracy and tested results from existing customers or independent labs. Although many DLP vendors' products may have similarities in terms of policy types and content detection algorithms, all differ somewhat in accuracy and implementation. Ensure you talk with reference customers and industry sources to get up-to-date opinions on how the product actually performs in production environments.
Cost, both to implement initially and maintain over time. Hardware, software and operational costs such as additional personnel should be factored in.
Platform support and performance metrics, taking both host-based and network-based DLP tools into account. In large, high-speed networks, not all solutions are equally capable of parsing data and accurately detecting policy violations. On the host side, some DLP agents consume significant processor and memory resources.

In the news this month a BlueCross BlueShield laptop containing more than 100,000 Social Security numbers was stolen. According to news reports the data was unencrypted. This isn't the first time an unencrypted laptop with sensitive data was lost or stolen, but the danger isn't limited to laptops.
A week later Pitt County Medical Hospital in North Carolina lost a USB drive containing confidential medical records and Social Security numbers for 1700 patients. How can you protect data on USB drives?
 MXI Security USB thumbdrives are password-protected and encrypted with 256 bit AES. Some other drives require special software that does the actual encryption. MXI's driverless designs perform the encryption in hardware. You never have to install software on the host computer to access your password-protected data.
For customers who require even more security, you can add other authentication factors. The Stealth MXP Bio and Outbacker MXP Bio offer biometric protection using a thumbswipe window. You can add an additional authentication factor such as a PKI digital certificate to any MXP model using the optional Access Identity software. Access Identity can also be used as part of a single sign-on solution.
MXI thumb drives come in all sizes up to 32 gigabytes. Need even more space? Try the Outbacker MXP Bio. This iPod-sized USB hard drive is available in sizes from 160 GB to 500 GB. It offers built-in biometric protection and is compatible with Access Identity.
Lower prices and free shipping
MXI lowered their prices in September by as much as 20%, making secure storage an even better value. For orders of 10 or more drives call us for special pricing. Mention this article and get free shipping on any MXI order between now and the end of the year. To learn more about MXI visit SecureHQ or download an overview of MXI's total solution for secure, portable storage.

Sword & Shield Announces Acquisition of Forensic Discoveries
KNOXVILLE, TN - Sword & Shield Enterprise Security is pleased to announce the acquisition of Forensic Discoveries, LLC, the fastest growing company in East Tennessee specializing in computer forensics and electronic discovery.
This acquisition demonstrates the commitment by Sword & Shield to become an industry leader in digital forensics and electronic discovery with the same dedication that has made them a nationally respected information security firm, said Bill Dean, founder of Forensic Discoveries and director of computer forensics at Sword & Shield. Forensic Discoveries will compliment the current professional service offerings of Sword & Shield by providing a division that is focused on the growing demand for both digital forensics and electronic discovery.
The market for computer and network forensic services continues to be strong as corporations are burdened with the increase of data theft, employee theft, employee compliance and policy violation, embezzlement, fraud, and other cyber crimes. Additionally, corporations are continuing to struggle with electronic Discovery (eDiscovery) and complying with the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) established in 2006. Forrester Research believes eDiscovery technology spending will increase to over $4.8B by 2011. Due to the growing demand for these services, Forensic Discoveries has expanded at a rapid rate.
Forensic Discoveries has been very successful at developing a client base offering litigation support, electronic discovery, and computer forensics, said John McNeely President/CEO of Sword & Shield. Bill Dean brings more than 11 years of industry experience and a great reputation for providing reliable forensic investigations and courtroom testimony experience.

From iPods to navigation systems, some of today's hottest gadgets are landing on store shelves with some unwanted extras from the factory: pre-installed viruses that steal passwords, open doors for hackers and make computers spew spam.
Computer users have been warned for years about virus threats from downloading Internet porn and opening suspicious e-mail attachments. Now they run the risk of picking up a digital infection just by plugging a new gizmo into their PCs.
Recent cases reviewed by The Associated Press include some of the most widely used tech devices: Apple iPods, digital picture frames sold by Target and Best Buy stores, and TomTom navigation gear.
