It's wonderful to see companies sending unsolicited e-mail (spam) pushing 
their products, citing a resource that gets a significant portion of their 
information from attrition.org.

Subject: The cost of data breaches

What are you doing to protect your data?

Did you know that the total number of records containing sensitive 
personal information involved in security breaches over the past two years 
is approaching 170 million?* In just the last month, 40 security breaches 
were reported which resulted in data loss of more than 7 million records. 
Are you doing everything possible to avoid adding to these statistics?

If you care about protecting your company's data, you need Centennial 
DeviceWall to lock down unauthorized file transfers from corporate PCs to 
portable storage devices.
