The Challenges:
Protecting data on an ongoing basis
Controlling and limiting access to critical data is a key responsibility for today’s data-rich enterprises. But it isn’t easy. Here are just some of the challenges:
Escalating Threats and Increased Risk
Sensitive data represents the crown jewels of an enterprise—making it irresistible to cybertheft and ransomware attacks. These attacks are increasing exponentially. The hard fact? More than 80% of all breaches can be attributed to a common and completely avoidable issue—open and excessive access to data. Proactive protection can help you avoid an embarrassing, disruptive, financially draining security breach—or an ominous email from internal auditors or external regulators.
Enormous Data Volumes
There’s more data within today’s enterprises than ever before—and more of it being created every moment. Managing the never- ending flood of data, even with the advent of cloud storage, is a difficult challenge in itself. And understanding the extensive web of permissions across folders and files is even more complex.
A Big Commitment
Every enterprise has some degree of excessive or inappropriate access to data. But identifying the extent of the exposure and mitigating the risk can be a time consuming, manual process. The longer data is exposed, the greater the risk of a breach, ransomware attack, or insider threat.
An Ongoing Issue
Protecting data is a forever challenge, one that just keeps getting bigger along with the inherent growth of your enterprise and its data.
