Hugo Palacios, Director, Enterprise Content Management, KMBS – I can remember the day that I got a house key from my father.  This was so exciting – since I was now responsible enough to come and go without an adult at home. (And I was responsible enough not to lose the key.)

For my parents, giving me that key was not only a responsibility issue, but a security issue.  Security was a hot topic at the AIIM (Association Information and Image Management) 2016 conference that we recently attended.  That’s not a surprise, since one of the business concerns that we always have to overcome when selling enterprise content management to a customer is overcoming risks: security of the data.

At AIIM, speaker Mark Brousseau, president of Brousseau and Associates, tackled the security topic asking the simple question:  Think Your Scanned Images Are Safe? Think Again.

He went on to identify four risks:

1. Not encrypting the data while it’s in motion

2. Unsecured log files

3. Poor visibility into operator activities

4. Poor security management

Every company is faced with the macro concerns of a data breach, which they try to address with their IT policies and protocols for strong passwords, authentication processes and safe guards.  With ECM, we share with the customer the key features of the solution that can help them prevent a micro breach or a data breach, especially when taking data in.
