The Laminar BrightTALK Channel will discuss how organizations can discover, classify, and safeguard their sensitive data – to achieve both preventive and detective controls to secure your data across multi-cloud environments. 



Shadow IT”, which refers to technology projects or data stores that operate outside the governance and oversight of your corporate IT, has now evolved into a more menacing threat known as “shadow data" in the era of multi-cloud architectures. This “shadow data” refers to company data that is copied, backed up, or stored in data stores that lack proper governance and security oversight, making it a significant vulnerability for organizations. As a result, well-known companies like Twitter and SEGA Europe have fallen victim to shadow data breaches, highlighting the critical need for understanding and mitigating this threat.
In this briefing, we will delve into the inadvertent creation of shadow data in various examples, including S3 buckets, RDS Postgres instances, and EBS volumes. We’ll explain how these issues can occur in any cloud environment, provide insights on how to avoid them, and offer strategies for remediating

A Technical Deep Dive Into Shadow Data: Real-World Examples

Data Security in the Cloud: Mission Impossible?

Gartner predicts that 85% of businesses will embrace a cloud-first principle by 2025. 

Harnessing the power and potential of cloud data for innovation has amazing potential for increasing efficiency, agility, and reducing costs. However, the “innovation attack surface” created by an organization's developers and data scientists using, moving, and sharing data can be a nightmare for data security teams to protect.

In this webinar, you’ll gain valuable insights into the latest trends and best practices for data security in the cloud. Done right, cloud data security helps prevent data breaches, protect sensitive information, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Fortunately, both the EDM Council's Cloud Data Management Capabilities (CDMC) framework and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) technology have emerged to enable businesses to innovate with cloud data safely.

Tune in to hear from our panel of cloud experts from AWS and Laminar to help you answer:
* What is the new "Innovation Attack Surface" and how can I reduce its risk? 
* What is DSPM and why is it critical now for data in the cloud?
* How can DSPM help me adhere to the CDMC capabilities and key controls to protect sensitive data in the cloud?
* What should I consider when implementing a DSPM strategy?

Data-Centric Security Trends: Secure Your Cloud Data Now

To facilitate remote and hybrid working models, public cloud adoption has surged in the last two years, and as a result, organizational assets and data now increasingly reside outside of the traditional perimeter. Whilst this fast-paced transformation has enabled the rapid development of products and services, IT teams are losing visibility of their valuable data and often compromising security for expedience.

To combat data security risks many cloud security providers focus on infrastructure protection rather than what really needs protecting – the data itself. A recent study by ESG found that 33% of organizations are aware that they have lost cloud-resident data, with a further 28% suspecting they have. Compare this to 2020, where only 18% of organizations indicated they had lost cloud-resident data, and it is clear that this is a growing problem. 

In this session, ESG Senior Analyst, Jack Poller is joined by Andy Smith (CMO, Laminar Security) to explain why now is the time for a data-centric approach to public cloud security, and how your organization can take advantage of the agility and scalability of cloud computing without sacrificing security.

Join Jack and Andy to hear: 

- The current state of data in the cloud
- Why a system-centric approach to security is no longer sufficient and unnecessarily complex.
- The value of automation and continuous verification of policies when nothing in the organization is static
- How a data-centric approach to security can turn your security team from gatekeepers into business enablers
- And more…

What is Data-Centric Security and Why Now?

We used to be worried about Shadow IT. Today the challenge is "shadow data" - unknown cloud data repositories that may not be monitored or properly protected, leaving undue risk and breaches in its wake. Data security teams have lost visibility to where their sensitive data is in the cloud, leaving it unprotected, exposed and vulnerable to both external and internal threats.
In this session you will learn:
What is shadow data and where did it come from?
What are the risks of "shadow data" and how to mitigate them.
What is the best practice methodology for combating shadow data? Including a real-world case study.
