Demystifying the Data Security Landscape

Data is the new currency for most organizations and data volumes are continuing to grow at an explosive rate. While the advantage of collection of such large volumes of data is obvious, protection of this data from cybercriminals and malicious actors is becoming increasingly difficult. Conventional security mechanisms are failing and large-scale security breaches, despite increasing security spends, are becoming commonplace. This, along with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements and privacy laws have brought “Data Security” – protection of the data itself whether in motion, in use or in transit into strong focus. While there has been an increasing focus on Data Centric Security, the solution landscape is fractured and enterprises are still struggling to identify and deploy long term solutions with minimal disruption to existing investments and processes. This talk will focus on the current state of Data security and offer pointers to how organizations can embark on a long-term Data Centric journey which truly adds business value.
