Ciso’s Buyer Guide for DSPM

If you’re a cybersecurity professional looking to protect your data in public cloud environments, this guide is for you.

As organizations store more and more data to public clouds, they need to protect its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. With an estimated 60% of enterprise data stored in the cloud, understanding cloud data security is fundamental to mitigating data breach, reputation, financial, and compliance risks. Often, organizations lose visibility into where sensitive data resides, who uses it, and whether it remains protected.

In recent months, several high profile incidents, including breaches at Uber, Twitter, and LastPass, have highlighted just how vulnerable cloud data stores can be – even for organizations that ostensibly understand cybersecurity and invest heavily in data protection. The common thread is lack of visibility. No security program can provide 100% protection, but the nature of the public cloud – which makes it incredibly easy to spin up a new data store but incredibly hard for security teams to monitor the contents of that data store – is undoubtedly playing a role in these vulnerabilities.
