Business Wire
Tumbleweed Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:TMWD): WHAT: � Among the
more than 40 high-profile data breaches that have occurred since
the first of the year, on Friday Lexmark International disclosed
that it suffered a data breach by inadvertently exposing employee's
personal information on a file sharing site. The file sharing site
was used to share employee data with a third party, and was
accessed in late January, exposing the names, birthdates, addresses
and social security numbers of an undisclosed number of employees.
� The breach illustrates the growing need for organizations to have
a comprehensive content security strategy - particularly when
sharing large files. According to some studies, accidental data
loss is the fourth largest concern among CIOs, and the vast
majority of similar breaches were due to lost or stolen CDs, thumb
drives and laptops. � WHO: Dr. Taher Elgamal, Chief Technology
Officer, Tumbleweed(R) Communications Corp. � Dr. Elgamal is a
leading expert in computer, network and information security,
recognized as the "inventor of SSL," the technology used to secure

developing an enterprise strategy for content security both
internally and with third parties. -- The growing need for
organizations to mitigate the risk of data breaches via FTP, file
transfer and file sharing, in response to this avoidable breach. --

similar types of data breaches. -- Best practices for ensuring an
organization's data is secure from these types of breaches. � WHEN:
