Every area of data security is an issue in today’s global economies, where communication takes place on multiple levels, from the simplest email to the most complex protocols. Every piece of equipment, every operating system, programming language, appliance, peripheral, hardware, and software component is talking to one another over a thousand other computers a day through networks, Web sites, browsers, emails, instant messaging, ISPs, VoIPs, Web conferencing, etc. It’s not just about the visual communications anymore—that is, the data we can see, read, and comprehend. So much is going on in the background, security breaches can occur at levels that we are not even aware of.

This frightening concept concerns everyone—from the mailroom couriers to the CEOs—so IT professionals are continually challenged with creating and maintaining new ways to protect your data. Organisations ranging from government agencies to financial services are seeking solutions, and the related costs in terms of dollars and reputation are huge.
