"This survey shows that companies need to
recalculate their assumptions about how well their data is protected," Tom Clare, senior director of product marketing for Websense, said in a statement. "When
asked about real-time protection solutions in place, many respondents
listed product and vendor names that don't offer real-time protection at
all."
