An article by Eoin Blacklock posted on the computing.co.uk website.
This article discusses data loss, and looks at ways to reduce human error. The article also focuses on the increasing use of mobile devices, and the risks associated with this trend.
The article states, "In a world adopting workforce mobility and flexibility more and more, we have to accept that sensitive data is going to be carried on portable devices, and take steps to secure it. Unfortunately, too many organisations are failing to do this."
The article further states, "Nearly all instances of loss or theft of data are triggered by human error, a risk that can never be completely eliminated. Staff may be reprimanded over lapses of concentration, but at the end of the day, it is unreasonable to expect them to accept full responsibility for looking after critical data when a safer alternative is available. It is now possible for data to be backed up online and managed in secure datacentres. The potential for human error can be almost eliminated and the data is never exposed to the risks of a portable storage medium."
