With the development of computer technology, paperless office develops at an amazing speed. Paperless office really brings us much convenience in life, work, as well as study. However, it also brings much trouble at the same time, like data leakage. In August 2012 Symantec Intelligence Report, data leakage becomes a new focus. In 2012, there are 14 data leakage situations monthly on average, and every data loss event brings users great economic losses or even serious spiritual losses. In order to avoid data leakage effectively, let's get to know main reasons for data leakage:
1. Hacker or other malicious programs' attack.
2. Staffs leak important data intentionally or unwittingly.
3. Measures to data encryption are not perfect.
4. Deal with old storage device storing important data improperly.

After knowing main reasons for data leakage, we should take corresponding precautionary measures.
At first, install powerful antivirus software and open firewall to prevent malicious attack.
Secondly, enhance inner management and appoint specialized people to manage data.
Then, encrypt important data and set strict access permission.
At last, destroy old storage device storing important data completely or erase important data completely. Since old storage device can be reused, users can choose the second way to deal with old storage device. Nevertheless, simply deleting data and emptying recycle bin can not erase important data completely, because some data recovery software is able to recover data emptied from recycle bin.
