Most cybersecurity strategies fail as enterprises don’t have accurate information on their data transactions. This lack of data visibility hinders organizations from knowing where their data is, how exactly it is being used, and who is using it. Therefore, gaining complete visibility, before, during, and after a data transaction is essential to draft policies that can help avoid any incident involving attempts to exploit data.
Identifying an identity threat is crucial for enterprise as not recognising or ignoring it can be very dangerous and can lead to major loss and theft of critical data. Identity threats involve cybercriminals stealing the login credentials of your employees to gain access to your network and data.
Enterprises usually resort to blocking websites and applications for data security purposes. For instance, they ban the use of social media sites like Facebook and file sharing apps like Dropbox to protect sensitive data from being shared intentionally by the employees. However, blocking is not the solution.
The world has moved towards becoming a data-driven digital environment, dealing with a lot of data, making it the most valued asset today. Enterprises struggle with managing and ensuring data security with a traditional security approach and limited visibility on data transactions.
