Digital transformation accelerates the need for data protection

The need to remain competitive in this rapidly evolving environment has led organizations across the globe to embark on digital transformation journeys. This trend is heavily correlated with increasing amounts of data, on-premises and in the cloud, without adequate protections. This has opened many opportunities for attackers with malicious intent to gain unauthorized access or control of data, dramatically impacting digital transformation investments and brand value.

Six steps to protect data

Leading practices include securing confidential data using multifactor authentication, limiting access based on business needs combined with having defined access policies, enabling event logging, possessing native backup and restore capabilities, and properly implementing data encryption throughout the organization data-at-rest and in-transit.
