Despite significant security investments made by organizations, data breaches of sensitive information continue at an alarming rate.

With the British decision to leave the European Union, there may be a trend of corporate headquarters leaving the UK to remain under the EU.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will implement Digital Rights Management (DRM) software to prevent unauthorized redistribution of digital information. This is in reaction to security incidents where departing employees accidentally took sensitive files on portable media.

I applaud the FDIC for taking this key initiative to proactively protect and control its most sensitive information. DRM will...
