The risk and severity of confidential electronic data loss is increasing every day due to three predominant factors:

1. The increasing value of data stored on laptop, workstation and networked file servers,
2. The increased use of mobile computing devices outside of the secure network perimeter,
3. The progressive pioneering efforts of data hackers and data thieves.
