Files on Demand

We didn’t only get mobile devices …

Users got exposed to what file sharingcan be like – and they loved it!

• Corporate files copied to cloud services

• Inside the firewall access controls don’t apply

• Potentially exposing sensitive information

• Regulatory compliance at risk

New challenges for IT

Our confidential

files are all over the net

• 90% of employees do it already

• IT cannot stop this trend

• Cost savings and productivity gains

• Cannot be left un-managed

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Gartner Recommends

“Organizations must deploy EFSS services to secure enterprise information assets. Failure to provide these capabilities will subject organizations to information leakage threats caused by users who move data through uncontrolled personal cloud services.”

MarketScope for Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing, Gartner, Feb 12, 2013
