  • Combining traditional approaches with technology protecting databases and applications is the most effective approach to data security
  • Data theft because of malicious intentions ranks the highest, insider breaches come next, with hackers and then accidental data breaches following
  • Most companies don’t know if data breaches occurred, or didn’t know if they had
  • PCI-DSS is the primary driver behind companies’ data security programs
