Do you risk losing intellectual property whenever an employee exits your organization? In times of workforce turnover, you need to retain mission-critical data to keep your business teams productive. SonicWALL® Data Turnover Protection delivers two-fold security that enables your organization to:
-
1Lock down potential leaks of sensitive data over corporate or private e-mail by:
- Controlling outbound transmittal of confidential and sensitive intellectual property like business plans, research, prospect lists, financials, or product roadmaps, whether over corporate e-mail like Outlook® or even private e-mail accounts like Gmail®.
- Setting granular policy for in-house, remote, and mobile employees, contractors and consultants that can enforce these restrictions with automatic responses ranging from gentle reminders to blocked e-mails.
-
2Enable staffers to stay up and running after any workforce turnovers by:
- Ensuring backup and recovery of all potential orphaned data left behind in the inevitable “black hole” of laptops, smartphones, at-home laptops or personal folders whenever staff leave.
- Automatically saving data, applications and settings every time they are updated, from servers, desktops—even mobile laptops—whenever employees are on the network, instead of only once a day like tape backup. You know the data you need is available when you need it.
The multi-layered protection of the SonicWALL Data Turnover Protection solution means you don't have to downsize productivity because of leaked or lost intellectual property due to employee turnover.
The workforce is fluid—data doesn't have to be.
People are the lifeblood of any organization and the work they produce is critical. Workforce turnover is an everyday occurrence and an ongoing challenge that’s especially significant in today’s economic climate. Departing employees often will not forward their crucial data, e-mail and voicemail to their replacements, so what happens if there is not a replacement for the position? With employee turnover, there is greater risk of losing or exposing sensitive corporate data and intellectual property through leaks or orphaned data—which can greatly impact productivity, and could result in, lost business opportunities, and lost revenue.
To the right are just three of the many ways that workforce turnover can impact your organization:
These risks pose a direct threat to the security of your mission-critical data and corporate intellectual property. But now, there is a solution to protect your organization—SonicWALL Data Turnover Protection.

Data needs to be retained.
Whenever people leave any organization, productivity is threatened. Continued productivity depends on seamlessly retaining every team member’s intellectual property, such as prospect lists, business plans, research or financials, and withholding it from unauthorized disclosure. In order to retain such mission-critical intellectual property, your organization needs to be able to enforce policy to capture and retain any sensitive orphaned data.
Orphaned data is any business information, application or intellectual property that has become unrecoverable because it was left on no-longer-accessible edge devices such as laptops, smartphones or PDAs. As employees leave during turnover, important information can be lost or forgotten because it was left behind in a “black hole” of systems that were not backed up, such as remote workstations, mobile laptops, or data that was simply never moved from a corporate workstation or laptop onto an accessible server.

Productivity tools can be
counter-productive.It is not uncommon for employees to be unaware of corporate policy and for them to try to e-mail sensitive documents to themselves or other third parties without company authorization—and without any policy controls put in place to prevent it. This risk will increase when rumors swell about impending layoffs. A recent IT security study1 cited 56% of workers surveyed feared layoffs, and over half had already downloaded competitive corporate data in anticipation. And ComputerWorld2 reports that layoff rumors have caused some sales reps to download customer, order, and payment histories to their personal e-mail accounts.
Productivity tools like e-mail can actually become counterproductive when they are used to transmit business plans, company financials, product roadmaps and other confidential documents outside of the corporate network. Finally, Forrester Research3 reports that an employee may take intellectual property, including strategic plans or customer data, before or soon after that employee is let go.
Unfortunately, productivity tools like e-mail can become counterproductive when they are used to transmit business plans, company financials, product roadmaps and other confidential documents outside of the corporate network.

Customers
tell it like it is.
"SonicWALL and the ES8300 saved the day for me with one of my customers recently. The customer's existing Barracuda system died when over six million connection attempts attacked the system. I put in my 'Beta' ES8300 that I was testing as part of upgrading my e-mail security hosting service, and in less than an hour the customer was back up and running. In addition, the ES8300 discovered some internal infected systems that previously were unnoticed with the old system. The ES8300 had the horsepower to tackle the customer's inbound and outbound e-mail, yet was straightforward to deploy. The customer was thrilled."
