Fraud and security are top priorities for organizations of all sizes globally. Data leaks irreparably damage hard-won reputations and shareholder value, fraudulent activity costs approximately 5% of revenue, and organizations need all the protection they can get.  The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) estimated a $3.7 trillion annual global occupational fraud loss in a 2014 report, 78% of which was committed by employees. Over 80 million personal records in the U.S. were breached in 2014¹, and 40% of U.S. healthcare organizations have reported criminal data attacks or leaks – up 100% since 2010².
