Why use SecureFile Sharing?

• In 2011, 174 million records were compromised by data breaches1

• While 95% of data breaches in 2011

originated from external sources, 55,493 records were compromised by internal agents - either knowingly or unknowingly1

• 81% of data breaches were a result of hacking1

• With basic controls, 97% of data breaches could have been avoided1

• 85% of data breaches took weeks or more to discover1

• Over 60% of enterprises will use a cloud computing service by 20132

• Few organizations are aware of data breaches even after they have occurred - most find out through a third party1

• Not just large organizations are affected; small organizations are increasingly becoming victims of data breaches1

• Financial motives remain the most prominent reason for data breaches1

• 47% of enterprises plan to increase their security budgets in 20132

Why make the switch?

There are many reasons to choose a secure, online file sharing provider. Email is not always effective. Many email systems place limits on file size, forcing senders and recipients to use unauthorized third party services. Too often, email accounts fall prey to phishing scams and viruses, compromising confidential data. Smartphones are also becoming increasingly common in the workplace, serving as not only a communication tool, but a means for data storage. Theft and loss of devices occurs frequently, again leaving data readily accessible to outside parties. If employees are choosing USB drives, they too are easily misplaced or stolen.

Increasingly, security-minded organizations block employees from using consumer-grade services and physical mediums to share sensitive company information - and with good reason.

Bottom line

Organizations require control over and knowledge of their data services, but this is often sacrificed when using consumer-grade methods.

Why use SecureFile Sharing?

Using unsecured methods to share documents allows for sensitive information to be stored at the viewer’s descretion. This opens the door for lax security standards and unauthorized document changes. Do not open your organization up to these risks.

Even organizations that are often considered immune to data breaches are susceptible to the same perils. Regardless of business size or industry, if you’re handling sensitive information you are at risk. Protect yourself accordingly.
