Imperva, the Data Security leader, today announced the availability of Imperva's Discovery and Assessment Services (DAS) in EMEA.
Finding and cataloguing all potentially sensitive data inside an organisation's IT environment so that data can be protected is a major problem that can lead to data breaches. According to a 2009 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report, in 39 per cent of breaches the compromised system was unknown to the organisation and/or the organisation didn't realise what data they contained.
