Identity Protection Measures to be taken by Tech Giants

Theft has no limited area, perhaps, it has taken hold of every sector in all over the world. For any company it is necessary that it takes up all the possible measures to ensure the protection of its valuable data of office as well as of its clients. We often hear about some people losing their social security numbers, credit card numbers and other valuable information by hackers. Even the companies which are into the field of IT products have become the victims of high-tech thieves. What is the most important asset for a company? Of course, it is none other than that of its homogonous information/data.

Being bitten hard by the piracy and stealing of precious information, many tech giants are tightening their belts to think out ways so that they can deal with Identity protection in a stringent way. Network World did an audit survey of a Boston based pharmaceutical company and later on it discovered that around 700 leak cases of crucial informative data which included like SSN, financial information, pricing etc. This journal also brought more than 4,000 cases into spotlights which were against to HIPAA and the US Department of Defense’s Information Assurance Certification rules.
