If you gave your staff members a briefcase containing a million dollars in cash to look after, they probably wouldn’t let it out their sight. However, the loss of a single USB thumb-drive can have an even more disastrous financial impact on an organization.

Last year, businesses in the U.S. lost $221 billion because of identity theft. Criminals breached more than 35 million records stored by government and corporate entities. According to a recent Ponemon research study, the average cost per data breach incident was $5.5 million, with resolution costs ranging from $750,000 to $31 million.
