In 2007 Longhaus predicted that the adoption of data leakage prevention (DLP) by Australian organisations would increase during 2008 driven by remote access to internal web-based applications and forthcoming local data disclosure legislationi. While the latter has still not eventuatedii, Longhaus believe the risk of data disclosure remains an area of serious exposure for many local firms. To verify this position Longhaus undertook an assessment of the adoption of data leakage prevention technology in the Australian market. This included a series of briefings with security vendors CA, Symantec, Websense and ClearSwfitiii combined with analysis of the results of both the 2008 and 2009 ICT Spending and Priorities Studiesiv in relation to adoption of DLP solutions.
