Princeton, NJ, May 06, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Information Security Media Group, publisher of BankInfoSecurity, announces the launch of its latest webinar, "Data Loss Prevention: Stop the Next WikiLeaks Breach," which will debut May 24.

About the session: Organizations were embarrassed by the WikiLeaks episode that resulted in the unauthorized release of more than 250,000 sensitive and classified government documents. This leak - and the threat of others in both the public and private sectors - forces information security leaders to ask: What more can we do to protect access, portability and privacy of critical data?

This session's expert panel will discuss:
- Lessons learned from the WikiLeaks exposures;
- Strategies to control users' access to private information;
