Is Your HR and Financial Data Secure on Your Network?

Human Resources and finance departments increasingly face the balancing act of trying to collaborate on sensitive data while maintaining the confidentiality of it.

HR Departments need to team with line managers on personnel reviews, salary information and sensitive personal data. Finance departments, on the other hand, need to work with line-of-business managers, senior management and auditors. Traditionally, these departments have either been unable to collaborate on shared documents, or accept the risk of storing this information on a shared network, hoping that the access to that data can be managed.

Unfortunately, anyone with access to the network can potentially gain access to this sensitive data. Traditional methods of securing data on networks are often insufficient to protect against the threat of data breach, which can lead to the loss of intellectual property. In addition to the risk of data loss, HR and finance departments face an onslaught of new regulations restricting how data is stored and the consequences of the loss of data.

Do you have a manageable solution that protects your sensitive information, and helps you comply with regulations such as PCI and HIPAA? "Safeguarding HR and Financial Data Across Corporate Networks" will explore:

• Specific regulations affecting HR and finance departments handling of sensitive data
• How these departments can approach working with other departments without compromising regulations and losing data
• Separation of document ownership from IT management
• Centralized management of network folder permissions
• Audits of who is accessing content on your networks
• Layering in security without disrupting users
• Adding authentication to secure data access
• New tools for securing network data

A layered security approach to protecting digital information addresses the challenge of securing data at rest and in motion. Sharing critical data without risking a data breach or loss can be accomplished through a combination of disk and mobile device encryption, network folder encryption to enable sharing of data securely among workgroups and email security.
