21st century businesses run on a diverse landscape of IT ecosystems, where different technologies come together to drive innovation. However, this complexity brings unique challenges in terms of security and agility.  Â
- IT Silos: IT ecosystems are often treated as silos, hindering secure and seamless data flows in cross-functional collaborations.Â
- Increased Complexity:Â Securing multiple ecosystems and preserving integrity requires costly investments in different technologies, labor skillsets, and system-specific resources.Â
- Work Across Multiple Systems: To ensure interoperability within each ecosystem, it requires overcoming technological barriers, disparate data formats, and diverse integration options. Â
- Security & Compliance Risk: Multiple IT ecosystems create a larger attack surface for cyber threats, with potential gaps in security protocols and inconsistent safeguard measures. Â
These challenges drives companies to seek data security solutions that not only seamlessly integrate within a single ecosystem but are also compatible across multiple ones.Â
Secure the Entire Company IT Landscape
The evolution of intelligent enterprises demands a unified approach to break down silos and secure the flow of data across disparate ecosystems. The approach should incorporate the following:Â Â
01
Zero Trust
Continuous authorization of all access attempts, prioritize data protection over network boundaries
02
Data-Centric Security
Automate data security and internal controls to eliminate human error and enhance business agility
03
Prevention
Shift from manual detective controls to automated preventive controls for threat detection & response
04
Unification
Work with existing infrastructure & apps to secure access and protect data across ecosystem silos
05
Integration
OOTB and seamless integration for quick time-to-value, enables hybrid and multi-cloud deployment
What Does the Solution Look Like?
For enterprises to progress from silos toward a unified approach for access management and data security, the solution should contain the following:Â
Unified Policy Platform
Centralized policy platform that seamlessly works with existing infrastructure and applications, where policies are used to automate security across silos.
Native Integration
Security solution must have native integration capabilities with key applications for streamlined operations, ensuring ongoing confidentiality and security.
Dynamic Authorization Technology
Evaluates attribute-based policies to authorize access, safeguarding data throughout its lifecycle.
Real-Time Enforcement
Enforce security controls over applications and data in real-time to ensure only authorized users have access to sensitive information, regardless of where it lives or travels.
Audit and Compliance
Automated and centralized approach to audit and compliance reporting for ease and efficiency.
