Overview:
Doing business outside national borders is a necessary competitive tactic for many companies and one that requires broad sharing and storing of your most valuable assets--intellectual property (IP) and sensitive data. In a 2009 report on the risks of doing business globally, researchers report that $12 million of an average company's sensitive information resides abroad. This data is premium currency for cyberthieves and financially desperate or laid-off employees. It is at risk because of a lack of security standards found in some countries as well as from inconsistent security policies found among your own employees and partners. In this paper, get an overview of security best practices from the McAfee Expert Cybersecurity Council, and read how IT organizations around the world are protecting their intellectual property.
