Organizations face an enormous challenge when it comes to managing vast amounts of data. Two of the most critical challenges are data protection and data recovery. The risks are especially great when it comes to PCs, Laptops, and remote or field offices that fall outside the protection of a company's central data center. New federal, state, and international regulations now require that companies take stringent measures to secure their private and personal data - or face serious consequences if a data breach occurs. The company faces damaging legal liability, fines and penalties, loss of reputation, and even customer defection. With the stakes so high, the protection of sensitive data is now a top priority.
