Data leakage is a persistent problem for many companies: In a 2007 Ponemon survey of 700 C-level executives, 85 percent said they'd experienced a breach in the previous year.

And if you're an enterprise security professional, what are some of the things you're looking for in the technology that's intended to plug the leaks? Has any particular experience led you to think this way?
