How at Risk are Your Company's Digital Assets?
From business to the battlefield, organizations today are completely
dependent on their digital assets. They spend billions of dollars to
develop digital assets that enable them to make better and faster
decisions than their competitors, drive automation that delivers
products for less, and revolutionize warfare.
In recent months, however, companies such as AOL and Cisco
Systems have experienced the theft of critical digital assets using older
traditional security methods. If it can happen to companies that
specialize in technology products as their primary business, how safe
are your company's digital assets?
First let's define digital asset: It's any computerized data that your
organization uses to compete. Some examples of digital assets
include proprietary information such as:
• Customer information • Patient information
• Product designs • Source code
• Chemical formulations • Classified information
Effective use of digital assets typically requires sharing them across
an extended enterprise in some collaborative process. The Internet
has made collaboration cheaper and easier than ever, but it has also
made it cheaper and easier than ever to steal digital assets. According
to the Computer Security Institute, theft of proprietary information is the
largest single source of economic loss due to the Internet
Conventional computer security systems take an indirect approach to
securing digital assets against theft by focusing on controlling user
behavior through access control and authentication. The indirect
method places a heavy burden on security personnel and does not
scale well in large enterprises.
Unlike indirect methods focused on preventing unwanted users from
getting in, the new breakthrough direct process of detecting and
stopping the unauthorized network transfer of digital assets
concentrates on preventing digital assets from getting out. This direct
method of securing digital assets against theft is inherently simpler: If
10,000 people have access to a digital asset, it is much easier to
focus on the asset than on the people
Palladin Enterprises has identified two solution vendors that have
created software technologies that protects your digital assets using
new breakthrough methods. Contact us for more information on these

Below are two brief articles outlining real world incidents about the
growing security threats regarding your digital assets:
