Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

It is far too often we read in the headlines that an organization has suffered a data breach. These breaches can be extremely harmful to the business and expensive as well. The average cost to a company is $141 per record loss. As most breaches involved thousands of records, this can add up quickly. Protecting data is an essential part of a data loss prevention (DLP) program.
