David Stanley on Properly Scoping Email Encryption, Preventing Data Leakage

David Stanley, Proofpoint's managing director in Europe, recently spoke with SC Magazine writer Dan Raywood about how enterprises should assess their email encryption needs before rolling such technologies out across their entire user base. In the article, David notes that:

David also notes that ongoing layoffs ("redundancies" as they say in the UK) - resulting from the ongoing global economic downturn - are causing new data loss prevention concerns for companies.
