Data security solutions

Data security and management helps ensure that critical enterprise data is protected and secured to support recovery from cyber incidents—including ransomware, insider threats, and natural disasters. It also provides a secure central repository of mission-critical data for analytics, dev/test, and e-discovery.

Data security and management are foundational to cyber resilience and ransomware defense. Along with modern cybersecurity, they complete the cyber resilience equation, enabling organizations to not only withstand cyber incidents but to rapidly and effectively recover from them. Data security and management also provide a single, secure, and reliable data source for extracting value from an organization’s data.

Data security consists of four primary categories: (1) data protection, so organizations always have access to trusted copies of their critical data; (2) solutions such as encryption, tokenization, and masking, which obfuscate data from unauthorized viewing; (3) solutions such as Active Directory, multifactor authentication, and role-based access controls, which control access to data; and (4) solutions such as data loss prevention, UEBA, and file access monitoring, which help ensure data is used appropriately.

Concerns with data security relate to coverage, gaps, and compliance—to name just a few. Organizations may struggle to effectively protect and manage all workloads without multiple complex solutions. They may also have gaps in applying security controls, which creates risks for their security posture. Finally, organizations need to ensure their data security meets the requirements of privacy laws and industry regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA and PCI.
