It's been recently reported that the personal information of some 70 million U.S. military personnel was lost last November.  It's unknown whether the data has been actually breached, but an investigation is under way.

We are very excited to be here in San Diego for DEMO fall 09! Today we are announcing the public release of our latest product –LeapFILE Folders beta!

We have been claiming “The End of File Sharing” for the last few months, but what does it really mean?

It's an inside joke here at LeapFILE that we're the best kept secret in town. We provide an awesome solution to businesses who are seeking enterprise class, secure file transfer but we do little to no marketing. One way or another, however, our customers find us. It's a fact that over 90% of our customer base finds us because an existing customer recommended LeapFILE; or because they were on the recipient end of a LeapFILE transfer and were astounded by how easy the transfer process was.

Missouri is the latest state to join the other 44 in the nation with its passing of a data breach notification law. House Bill 62 will be effective as of August 28th, 2009. The regulation requires anyone (person or business) who handles sensitive personal information to provide notification if there is unauthorized access (security breach) to the system where the personal data resides.

A lot of the attendees from AICPA Tech+ were kind enough to take the time and filled out a survey for us during the exhibition. We wanted to utilize the opportunity we had with our community to try to gain a better understanding on what each and every user is looking for so we can continue to develop and improve.

Here are some of the results we got:

This was our first time attending the AICPA Tech+ Conference. I must say overall it was a pretty awesome experience despite how tiring it was being on my feet all day long. We would like to say thanks to all those who stopped by our booth during the show and learned a little bit of what LeapFILE is about. It was a very rewarding experience as we got the chance to interact with everyone, share ideas, and learn about what accountants are looking for in their solutions.

TJX, the parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, famous for attracting shoppers looking for brand name merchandise at bargain prices, likely regrets adopting the same frugal philosophy for their own corporate network security. 

With data privacy and security high on corporate IT's mind, every security consultant, solutions provider and blogger is coming out with a top 5 or top 10 in how to deal with this critical issue. It would not surprise me if David Letterman came out with his own Top 10 List (okay, maybe I would be a tad surprised). 

I just returned from the AICPA Tech+ Conference in Las Vegas, and confirmed that customers like substance and expertise. Cynics might argue that trade show and conference attendees go for the exotic locales or simply to "officially" take some time off away from the office. Or, to take the opportunity to bring the spouse and kids for a family vacation.
