About Data security

 "Data security practices that disrupt workflow place an undue burden on users and administrators. The best data security tools work in the background-transparently-and provide automated, non-disruptive protection of assets and seamless authentication of network users. Similarly, administrative tools should provide consistent support for corporate data security policies and minimize the need for manual oversight or time-consuming, hands-on procedures."
