+=======================
+Employees are using cloud-based services to share sensitive company data with vendors, customers and partners. They are syncing data to their personal devices and home computers, all in an effort to get their job done faster and easier, and all without IT‘s permission. Consumer cloud-based file sharing services have your sensitive company data stored on servers outside of your control, outside of your policy and regulatory guidelines – maybe even outside your country – and not managed by [...]
