Essential Elements for Cloud Data Protection
Despite the acceleration of cloud adoption, companies are still only scratching the surface of the cloud’s vast potential – making it hard to predict its true limits. Even though we are still far from the cloud’s full capacity, recently, we’ve observed the number and variety of data assets per organization explode. At a time when businesses had a choice to adapt to the new way of work or falter, the cloud made successful operations possible.
Moving away from slower, more rigid on-premises infrastructure has been good for the pace of development. Simultaneously, it has thrown a wrench into the already difficult jobs of Security teams. While multiple cloud solutions can drive agility, they also create issues. These range from securing data, maintaining control, meeting regulatory and compliance requirements, and ensuring that security doesn’t hamper data accessibility.
To thrive in the multi-cloud world, organizations now need complete data observability and the tools to:
- Reduce their attack surface
- Discover shadow data
- Detect and respond to threats against data in real time
- Reinstate control over data
