Besides a checklist for CIOs, the white paper examines the potential business impact of a security breach that makes this a must read for CEOs of any sizable organization. According to research by the Ponemon Institute, 20 to 30 percent of customers affected by a data breach will stop doing business with the affected company. The paper recommends augmenting existing perimeter based security and preparing contingency plans in the event of a data breach. The paper also references the use of Apani's EpiForce enterprise data protection product in preventing data breaches in the first place.

Designed for large distributed environments, EpiForce is self-provisioning and capable of securing 200,000 servers and PCs in mixed OS platform environments. Operating at the network layer, EpiForce is transparent to applications and end-users, eliminating the need for costly application revisions or end-user training.
