Peteris explored ways how to protect company’s sensitive information from leakage. “Information leakage is usually accidental and performed by company’s own employees. The perfect fraud is when victims are completely unaware that their sensitive information has been stolen”, he said. Peteris presented several solutions available in the market which can prevent company from data loss.
