Despite massive security efforts in place today by large organizations, data breaches continue to occur and identity theft is on the rise. Something has to change. This paper compares the two primary prevention strategies to demonstrate the strength and value in securing Data-at-Rest and Data-in-Motion. We analyze historical research to highlight the true nature of data breaches and help you determine which strategy is right for you. In nearly every comparison, from cost to effectiveness, Data-at-Rest solutions emerge as the stronger data loss prevention strategy.
Based upon the experiences of Identity Finder hotel customers, this use case illustrates how Identity Finder DLP minimizes a hotel’s risk of data leakage and decreases PCI-DSS audit and compliance costs within a decentralized hotel network. Mid-sized to large hotel and resort chains process and store a variety of guest personal information including PCI Data (e.g., credit card information) using secure Payment and Property Management Systems (PMS). However, in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of property rental, information often leaks out of secure systems, creating a PCI-DSS compliance nightmares. Identity Finder can help.
The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace (NSTIC) is a government-coordinated, private-sector initiative to launch a nationally interoperable framework of independent federated identity systems. If implemented properly, NSTIC could improve privacy. However, this whitepaper finds that in its current form NSTIC will create new methods to commit identity theft; a false sense of control, privacy, and security among users; new ways to covertly collect users’ personal information; and new markets on which to commoditize human identity.
