Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's Board of
Airport Commissioners (BOAC
) today created an Office of Ethics and Business
Conduct to establish new ethical standards for the
City's airports
department, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA), and oversee all complaints
of suspected
misconduct. The threat of data loss caused by company
insiders, whether malicious or inadvertent
, is compounded by new threats such
as the use of encrypted network traffic like Secure HTTP (HTTPS
), since
security teams have no insight into its use, or misuse.
"Our world class team, track record
of innovation and customer success has led
to the adoption of Vontu by some of the largest organizations
in the Fortune
500.0 is
the only data loss prevention solution to provide 100 percent coverage
of web traffic. This innovation is critical for monitoring inter-
department, broker
-dealer, cross-border and other multi-party
communications, as well as managing export control
scenarios.0 is the only solution to
automate policy enforcement, including remediation, notification
and
prevention, in order to drive down resource requirements and reduce
risk. By
reducing the frequency and severity of both
inadvertent and malicious data loss incidents, Vontu
helps organizations
ensure public confidence, reduce compliance risk and protect competitive
advantage
