Meanwhile, Symantec has announced new Data Loss Prevention 14, which it says will give CIOs greater confidence that employees can take advantage of storing information in the cloud without worrying about data loss or theft.

“Symantec Data Loss Prevention is a content-aware security technology that helps companies understand where their sensitive corporate information is being stored, how it’s being used and how to protect it against loss and theft,” said Amit Jasuja, senior vice president, product development at Symantec.

“With the latest release, we are extending DLP to cloud email and storage to provide our customers the control and visibility they need to secure their sensitive information as they take full advantage of the cloud. We’ve also announced a new, robust integration with Box, as it’s one of the top requests we’ve seen from our DLP customers.”
