73% of companies report the loss or theft of data-bearing assets in the past two years according to the Ponemon Institute’s research report, National Survey: The Insecurity of Off-Network Security.  These security breaches continue to occur because, according to the study, most companies: 1) have underdeveloped asset management discipline and inventory controls, 2) do not have measures in place to effectively manage idled assets, and 3) spend only 5% of their IT security resources protecting against “off-network” risk.
Join acclaimed speaker and moderator Stan Gibson of CIO Magazine as he leads a discussion with Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, Miriam Wugmeister, partner of Morrison & Foerster and the head of the firm’s global privacy and data security practice, and Robert Houghton, president and founder of Redemtech, on Preventing High Profile Data Breaches: A Root Cause Approach. Using the research report as a guide, industry experts will pinpoint common gaps in security and asset management practices that lead to breaches, review the off-network security policies every organization should have in place to comply with data privacy regulations, and reveal how to support those policies with processes that protect data-bearing assets as they move through, and outside, your organization. You will learn:
- How your organization compares with other companies in terms of off-network security policies and practices
- The policies and practices needed to create a foundation for effective off-network security
- Where your data-bearing assets are most vulnerable to theft and how to manage the risk
- Why many corporate assets available on the resale market contain sensitive data, despite undergoing erasure processes
- How to implement a metrics-driven process to simplify compliance management and reduce the risk of a damaging data breach
- Legal obligations and implications for the collection, use, disclosure and transfer of personal information

Off-Network Risks |
|
|
|
|
Organizations spend a large amount on IT security, but they rarely devote enough resources to securing off-network assets. These devices and machines account for the majority of data breaches—70 percent of them. |

Off-network security: From knowing better to doing better |
|
|
|
|
Most companies do nothing to measure or govern the policies for the handling of data-bearing equipment "off the wire.” Redemtech President Robert Houghton advises IT organizations to adopt five steps to rigorous off-network security discipline to make themselves less vulnerable to data breaches. |

Stopping Off-Network Losses: Practical Suggestions |
|
|
|
|
Why are data breaches so persistent despite our best efforts? When data-bearing assets are removed from active production - taken "off the network" - they are literally off the radar for many organizations. Redemtech's Robert Houghton provides practical tips for robust off-network security. |

Off-Network Security Best Practices |
|
|
|
|
A good portion of the security focus is on protecting the network from intrusion, but it’s easy to forget about the devices that employees remove from the network. So what should your organization be doing to improve the security of off-network devices? |

National Survey: The Insecurity of Off-Network Security |
|
|
|
|
Study by the Ponemon Institute reveals that 70% of data breaches result from the loss or theft of data-bearing equipment taken off network; most organizations lack procedures and controls to prevent off-network data breaches. |

|
Off-Network Security Remediation |
|
|
|
|
Business enterprises must protect all off-network technology in order to avoid costly data security breaches. Redemtech President and Founder Robert Houghton addresses the importance of confronting the real potential for data security incidents with appropriate physical control of all IT assets, especially those data-bearing devices that exist off-network, and applying chain-of-custody tracking, logistics, audits and sanitization before proper disposition, especially in light of regulatory compliance requirements.
