In a study completed by the Ponemon Institute on the security of test data, an overwhelming majority of organizations surveyed risk compromising critical information by using actual customer data for the development and testing of applications.

In this white paper, you'll learn the compelling facts surrounding how 879 IT professionals approach the security of sensitive data for development and testing purposes and recommendations on how to reduce the risk to private test data.
