DATA AND IDENTITY

As data usage among employees and consumers has grown exponentially, enterprise data has become more valuable and vulnerable. For most companies, developments around data security requirements and regulations are threatening to outpace available resources, despite significant consequences for being unprotected and unprepared.

According to IBM, the global average total cost of a data breach in 2020 was $3.86M. To avoid this expense and protect against unwanted data exposure, organizations must implement data security protocols that manage the risk of core data assets.

Data security management maintains data integrity and ensures that sensitive data is not accessible by unauthorized individuals or parties. With cloud platform (i.e. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform) adoption for data storage and processing quickly increasing, data security management has become a shared responsibility between the cloud provider and enterprise.

Nevertheless, organizations do shoulder a significant burden. When implementing data security, organizations must ensure compliance with standards such as HIPAA, CAN-SPAM, COPPA, FCRA, GLBA, and SOX. Enterprise-wide data security and governance standards help to mitigate the risk of security loopholes.
