Today’s industries worldwide find themselves navigating a data-driven landscape of evolving technologies and shifting regulations. Digitization and cloud adoption has surged across the board, profoundly impacting industry standards and practices.
As organizations undergo digital transformation to streamline business processes and foster collaboration, a complex cybersecurity and regulatory landscape stands in their way. Industry regulations, such as ITAR, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, EAR and CMMC, along with an increased attack surface, pose obstacles to data sharing, supply chain collaboration and managing business costs.
Data Security Trends for Evolving Industry Needs
Closing the security gaps spawned by digital transformation requires a new approach to data security – one that not only addresses current risks but also anticipates future threats. From shifting compliance requirements to the increasing reliance on cloud computing, organizations must adapt swiftly to protect their sensitive information.
Companies should thus prioritize these key operations in data security:
01
Zero Trust
Continuous authorization of all access attempts, prioritize data protection over network boundaries
02
Automation
Automate data security and compliance procedures to reduce error and enhance business agility
03
Prevention
Shift from manual detective controls to automated preventive controls for threat detection and response
04
Smart Audit
Track and monitor all access activity, use risk analytics to correlate, identify and alert on anomalies
05
Cloud Native
Seamlessly integrate security solutions with business infrastructure for quick time-to-value
