Tick, Tock: Just 1 Year to GDPR Enforcement – How to be technology ready

The retail industry, already at intersection of online with brick-and-mortar, is one of the most heavily targeted for cyber-attacks, and encountering record levels of data breaches as a result. With digital transformation an imperative, dealing with concerns over data breaches has become every retailer’s new reality. Research shows 99% of the industry uses digital transformation technologies with sensitive data – Cloud, Big Data, Mobile Payments, IoT, Blockchain and Containers.
The 2018 Data Threat Report for retail sponsored by Thales explores the depths of these problems, enterprise plans for combating them, and best practice data security recommendations.

- How does your company compare to the benchmarks in 451 Research’s findings?
- How do you recognize, track and report data breaches?
- How do all the existing and new regulations impact your data security strategies? (e.g., CCPA, Vermont Data Broker Law, GDPR, etc.)
- What are best practices when it comes to protecting and securing your sensitive data? Are they enough?

Chris Ogilvie interviews Simon Keates, Thales eSecurity Business Development Manager, EMEA on “cloud” - the biggest growth area of technology investment this year.

Companies are increasingly reliant upon multi-cloud or hybrid cloud to meet specific workload and needs. However, these multi-faceted environments come with advanced threats in the form of security gaps which exploits individuals and organisations. In addition, embracing cloud environments brings challenges around data control, complex security policies and compliance reporting.

Join Chris and Simon for the second in our series of “coffee break” webcasts when they will discuss:

a) How can enterprises reduce security gaps in the cloud without affecting their business efficiency?
b) How are organisations maintaining effective security whilst adopting new digital technologies to improve agility, customer engagement and support business growth?
c) How does BYOE (Bring Your Own Encryption) alleviate the core issues of security, control and compliance and can it be applied to the common public cloud environments cost-effectively?
d) How can enterprises regain control of their data security?

The rapid adoption of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions have been due to their proven ability to deliver scalability, agility, reduced costs, storage redundancy, and reliability. While these are great benefits, perhaps one of the elements that is garnering the most attention right now is data security. Nutanix certainly knows this and is working hard with Thales eSecurity to protect the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data through strong encryption of user and application data. When used with Vormetric Data Security Manager (DSM), the combined solution provides FIPS certified robust key management and role separation to meet the most stringent security requirements.

In this webinar, we will examine the key elements of the joint solution as well as what may be the best options for your organization.

• Understand the types of encryption and their characteristics
• Understand the critical role of best-in-class key management
• Learn how to go beyond the encryption basics

For virtually every organization today, the adoption of multiple cloud services continues to expand. According to the AlphaWise/Morgan Stanley 2016 Annual CIO Survey of 100 CIOs, by 2020 over 46% of the application workload will move to the public cloud. So any way you look at it, a multi-cloud environment is part of your future. With this move to the cloud, the proliferation of encryption will continue at an increased rate in order to protect and secure sensitive data. That means the number of keys and the potential risks will also increase dramatically. With the CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager (formerly Vormetric Key Management as a Service), your organization can establish strong controls over encryption keys and policies for data encrypted by cloud services. So what are you waiting for? Learn how Thales eSecurity and our CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager can put you in control of your keys and help you secure your sensitive data.

* Application workloads are moving to the Cloud - 46% by 2020 - make sure you are prepared
* Encryption for sensitive data in the Cloud doesn't mean you should lose control of your keys
* CipherTrust Cloud Key Manager ensures you have control of your keys in the cloud

The digital transformation has changed how the world does business, creating whole new enterprises and industries, but it has also left many organizations vulnerable to new and destructive threats. Individuals and businesses need to combat these threats to secure their own assets and reputations as well as to comply with increasingly numerous and rigorous regulations, such as GDPR. Among the tools that protect the data itself by making it unusable, should it be stolen, is tokenization. Tokenization protects sensitive data by substituting non-sensitive data.

In this webinar, we will examine the key elements of a tokenization solution as well as reviewing several example use cases.

• Understand the problems tokenization addresses
• Describe the architectures needed to support tokenization
• Review relevant tokenization use cases

When 451 Research surveyed 1200 IT security professionals, including 400 across Europe, for the 2018 Thales Data Threat Report, we found that today’s threat environment, digital transformation initiatives and regulations are having a deep impact on enterprises. In 451 Research’s Analyst Garrett Bekker’s view – with a big disconnect around what is effective at preventing data breaches and where we’re spending our IT security dollars today. In this session, we’ll cover:

• The depth of the problem with data breaches – and the numbers around how deeply it has affected enterprises in Europe.
• How IT security spending is being prioritized today – and why that can be a problem.
• How adoption of cloud, containers, big data, IoT and other technologies add risk and complicate the data security picture – and what your peers would like to see to make this adoption safer
• Perceived barriers to use of data security tools, and whether these are still relevant – or relics of past experiences.
• Simple best practice recommendations that can enable you to evaluate your current stance, and improve it.

Digital transformation is business enhancing and fraught with danger. With services moving online and into the cloud, the result is a faster, more agile and open service for consumers and enterprises. However, this digital transformation is taking place in an increasingly precarious environment, more and more your corporate attack surface is being exposed.

With data breaches at an all-time high and incidents of identity theft risen by 57% in a year, consumers are questioning the security of their personal data held by organisations. The rise of cloud and the Internet of Things, has forced companies to take control of their data – regardless of where it resides and in addition, reputational damage caused by public breach is firmly on the agenda of the board.

This webinar will consider:

• Key security considerations for a digital transformation strategy

• Why a proactive data defence strategy is crucial

• The benefits of maximising the level of control over data irrespective of where it is created, store or shared.

Digital transformation initiatives and increased threats have put enterprise data at risk more than ever, with 67% already experiencing a breach, and over half of those breaches in the last year. In this webinar Garrett Bekker, Principal Analyst for Information Security at 451 Research, details critical findings from the 2018 Thales Data Threat Report around the rise in data breach rates, what IT security pros around the world are doing to respond, and best practice recommendations for how to keep from becoming another statistic.

With the clock ticking towards May 2018, NOW is the time to ensure you are taking the right steps to protect your organization and your customers in order to be compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

La nube, IoT, movilidad y big data están reinventando la forma en que operan y hacen negocios las organizaciones. Sin embargo, muchas empresas no han incluido la seguridad como pieza clave de la transformación digital. Conozca porque es necesario proteger los datos sensibles en este nuevo escenario y como realizar cifrado de los datos almacenados, controlar el acceso a usuarios privilegiados y reunir registros de seguridad sin volver a diseñar las aplicaciones, bases de datos o la infraestructura.

Join Verisec and Thales and gain a deeper understanding into how you can review your data security in an efficient and effective way to enable your organisation to focus on the truly challenging areas of data security and compliance.

Sensitive data continues to make it into a broader set of environments, including cloud deployments, big data platforms, virtualised systems, and more. The policies and regulatory mandates in effect continue to grow more stringent. At the same time, these groups have to guard against more sophisticated cyber-attacks, and the continuous threats posed by users that have stolen privileged user credentials.

To adapt to these expanding demands, IT and security professionals have to leverage technologies that offer a strong mix of security, implementation flexibility, and operational efficiency.

During this webinar we will cover:
- Compliance with privacy and data security requirements (helping you comply with the critical Article 32 and 34 GDPR rules)

- Cyber-security risk management and mitigation - using Thales encryption, an organisation can render private data unintelligible to a cyber-intruder (external or internal) even in the event of a breach

- Enabling organisations to securely drive digital transformation such as BYOD, Cloud Migration, IoT, Blockchain

- Giving organisations capability to keep control and visibility on their data and encryption keys while moving to the cloud

This introduction is aimed at those within your organisation looking to gain an insight into data protection and the potential challenges that your organisation could face.
