In this issue we lead with Protecting Data, a look at the fast-growing Data Leakage Protection and Data Loss Prevention space. It is always an interesting study to see how and why a technology emerged, what fuels its need to exist and how it will evolve. Another fast growing technology is explored in Virtualization and Messaging. In this feature story, we take a look at this phenomenon that has swept other computing areas and report on its progress towards use in the messaging space. Additionally, we review the progress being made by authentication, in The Latest in Authentication Adoption.

Many times the business need outgrows a technology, forcing the technology to either be ineffective or to evolve. FTP is being used today in ways the technology never intended. In How Secure Is Your FTP? we report on the next generation of FTP.

Now and then, the old ways come back re-incarnated in cyberspace. In Secure Document Collaboration Approaches Michael Sampson looks at ways to re-create much of the secured room approach from days gone by, using digital deal rooms.

What is really going on with mobile threats? That is the question we asked in Overcoming Mobile Insecurity. It is often a good idea to step back once and a while to gain perspective, without the hype.

Enjoy the issue and safe messaging.
