What are the benefits of implementing Information Protection in your organization?

Some benefits have been covered previously when it comes to regulatory compliance and protection from insider risk. But something we have not talked about yet is the importance of raising security awareness inside your organization.

Here, an implementation of Information Protection would help your users to understand which types of information are subject to protection using encryption or information barriers.

Information Protection not only safeguards any information protected by it, but it also will help with making your users aware of how to interact with information within your organization in a safe manner, due to visual markings on labeled information, notifications from data loss prevention policies, and the requirement to set permissions on data labeled as classified.
