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

Join us for an exclusive webinar featuring cybersecurity leaders from TAG Cyber, AWS, and Laminar as they uncover the secrets to unlocking your maximum potential from data in a cloud era.

Today, organizations that harness the power of data are the biggest winners. However, cloud data, with its larger, more distributed, and dynamic nature, has surpassed the capacity of traditional data security measures to protect it, leaving organizations vulnerable. With the flexibility of the cloud, unknown, “shadow data”, has become pervasive and largely uncontrolled, putting organizations at risk of data breaches and other security challenges.

That's where Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) comes in. As a fast-growing security category, DSPM offers hope in the battle against shadow data. In this panel-style discussion, three experts – an Analyst (TAG Cyber), a Practitioner (AWS), and a DSPM provider (Laminar) will share their insights and answer your burning questions on this rapidly evolving challenge.

Join us to learn:
• What is shadow data and how big of a problem is it?
• What people, processes, and technologies are needed to address it?
• How you work with CSP's to protect customer data.
• What is cloud-native DSPM and how can it address the gap in data security?
• Where do you start?  Discover how to crawl, walk, and run towards securing your data in the cloud era.

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?

How to Automate Security, Governance & Privacy for Cloud Data Innovation

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.

Cloud Data Risk is Lurking in the Shadows

The global threat landscape is always on, a real-time source of risk for every organization, especially in an age where data is proliferating exponentially on a daily basis, data has become the new currency between B2B companies. With ever increasing amounts of data in the cloud, finding the right automated technologies to protect this data is crucial to enable unlocking its power.

The challenge: Security teams have their hands full now in an effort to enable business; they must also be able to ensure their organization’s most sensitive data is protected. It’s a fine balance between decoupling the exponential growth of cloud data from the risk it imposes by its proliferation.

The solution: Cloud-native and data-centric solutions focused on continuously protecting an organization's data by following the data as it proliferates.

During this webinar you will learn the top 3 reasons why you should include data security in your 2023 cloud security plans:
Cloud data security is different that data security
Tedious manual efforts don’t work in the cloud
What you’re doing now is not working

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?

Data is one of the most valuable assets for an organization. Understanding where data lives, who has access, and where it travels is a top priority for security teams. Since Gartner defined Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) as a new category in the Fall of 2022, the term has been gaining monumental traction in the security market. 

Please join Insight Partners and Laminar as we explore how security leaders can adopt DSPM and manage data risk. The 30-minute conversation will focus on critical considerations, real world examples, and practical insights to maximize the effectiveness of DSPM technology.

What you will learn:
- What is the “innovation attack surface” and what new challenges does it cause
