Information technology powers your daily life, but constant security threats make protecting your data against disclosure a constant battle. Daily coordinated attacks on government and private networks have our IT experts continually stressed to keep the outsiders out.

But why are we neglecting to protect against one of the easiest sources of information – the computer screen? Apart from ineffective plastic privacy filters, what is being done to stop office visitors, colleagues and social engineering hackers from stealing sensitive information right off your screen?

The answer, unfortunately, is “very little”. With information protection laws becoming ever more restrictive, and attackers becoming ever more bold, government and industry need to take a serious look at stopping those prying eyes.
