SearchInform, one of the leading information security companies in the region, will demonstrate its next generation Data Loss Protection (DLP) solution at the upcoming Gulf Information Security Expo & Conference (Gisec) in Dubai, UAE.

The event runs from May 21 to 23 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

IDC analysts estimate that in 2016 cybercrime cost the world economy $650 billion, and by 2020 this number will reach more than $1 trillion. Similarly, experts noted that cyber-attacks will acquire a "physical" nature, where 5 per cent of information crimes will lead to either destruction of data, or damage to physical resources or infrastructure.

“The Middle Eastern region has experienced a large volume of cyber-attacks over the last year, followed by many covert threats highlighting the need for proper security,” said Sergey Ozhegov, CEO of SearchInform.

“We are committed to helping organizations build their security platforms through our local partners and will demonstrate ways in which our technology protects commercial information from theft, leakage, industrial espionage, insider trading, and other pitfalls.”

Featured in the Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Data Loss Prevention, SearchInform DLP is an Omni-Channel protection solution that provides a secure information perimeter, protecting companies against data leaks and losses, corporate fraud, business intelligence, sabotage, and other harmful activities.

The solution provides for monitoring the movement of sensitive information, employee behaviour, use of hardware and software; and, essentially, aims at mitigating the risks of data loss and insider threats from either deliberate or negligent actions. – TradeArabia News Service
