It's not hard to see why. Employees want an easy way to share and access files across multiple devices and collaborators. Personal storage devices like DropBox or Box make this simple to achieve.

But while that's great for end-users – it's less than ideal for companies. It's important for organizations to maintain IT control over shared files.

Aside from the many obvious reasons, there are some not-so-obvious reasons to ensure your corporate data is protected. What if an employee stores confidential corporate data in their personal DropBox account then quits? Or what if any employee deletes crucial work files when they leave? This can create a number of security risks for your organization.

Is your business at risk? It's time to find out…

It's important that businesses take the proper precautions to mitigate potential risks caused by rogue data access. But in order to determine proper next steps, you must first assess your risk.
