Data Leaks In South East Asia

The InfoWatch Analytical Center has been releasing global data leak reports on a biannual basis since 2007. And now, for the first time, they released a data leak report specifically for South East Asia.

This report is based on over 10,000 cases that have been publicly announced. Although that only represents 1% of all data leaks globally. the report gives us a valuable statistical sample of the data for analysis.

The new InfoWatch focus on South East Asia will help companies in this burgeoning region prevent data leaks from within their organisations.
