UK Fundraising | News | Why charities need to protect their data: "Why charities need to protect their data

Jason Ashley, Senior Partner at IT security company BEW Global, explains why charities need to focus even more on protecting their data. He offers suggestions on how to protect data in motion and data at rest.

The rise in data security breaches and trade secret piracy over the past year is a wake-up call for executives - network security is not enough for charities. Incredibly, 1 in 400 messages leaving a company contains confidential data, and one in 50 files on open share (a folder where anyone on the network can add, delete or change files, without needing a username and password) is exposed.

I believe that the threat poised internally is just as great as at the perimeter."
