If companies are to keep pace with IT modernisation and governance, they must determine what data must be kept, what data holds value and what does not.
We live in a world consumed by data that informs and controls us every day. In this world, the regulatory landscape has become a veritable minefield of constraints that are ignored at your peril.
The often inadequate data security of legacy systems makes complying with the relevant regulatory frameworks near impossible. If companies are to keep pace with IT modernisation initiatives, they need to quickly determine what data must be kept, what data holds value and what does not. Multiple iterations may be needed to get as close as possible to the end result required to achieve the goal – protection. Data must be managed and secured through its entire lifecycle to maximise business value, preserve data integrity, meet regulatory requirements and reduce risk.
Many data protection offerings are little more than point solutions that don’t have the scope, vision or cross-silo analytics needed to address company-wide challenges of cloud adoption, IT modernisation and regulatory pressure. Moreover, a framework is required that enhances its intelligence and cyber resilience, protecting against advanced threats at scale.
