ABSTRACT

If data leaving organizations made a sound, most CIOs and

CISOs would need noise cancelling and noise reduction

headphones. Far too much data leaves organizations and

the situation is only getting worse. In a survey conducted

by McAfee, 55% of respondents said they use a portable

device to take confidential documents out of their business

every week.[1]

The oft-quoted observation about Chicago life, “if you

don’t like the weather, wait five minutes,” is in many ways

descriptive of the nature of information security. Issues not

envisioned today become the significant threats of

tomorrow.
