Growing data protection risks and how to manage them
Companies today collect more data from more sources than ever before. Often the data is distributed across on-premises environments, cloud systems and third-party networks. The network perimeter behind which most enterprise data once resided is gone, and users now have the ability to access data from anywhere and at any time via laptops, smartphones and other mobile devices. Managing these data protection risks creates unique challenges for CISOs and their security teams.
"Security must be able to protect the data wherever it is being used, viewed or saved," said Christopher Pierson, executive vice president, general counsel and CSO at Viewpost, an electronic payments and invoicing service, based in Maitland, Fla.
For organizations covered by regulations such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and, soon, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, the trends pose enormous compliance headaches. The distribution of data and the many ways in which it can be accessed has made handling data protection risks especially challenging.
At the same time, many companies have network-level security models that prevent their security teams from transitioning to data-level controls. In this issue of Information Security magazine, we look at data-centric security models and better ways to manage data protection risks.
