The Enterprise Information Protection Challenge The most cost-effective data protection solution is to instrument the operating environment so that data does not move without that movement being observed by the instrumentation. The transition from data-atrest to data-in-motion always involves the operating environment, and does so in a way that is directly subject to instrumentation. Only when this type of mechanism is in place can enterprises realize and then focus on another enterprise artifact: human behavioral issues and their policies governing data handling. Dan Geer Global businesses today must adapt and grow in highly-competitive markets that rapidly evolve with changes in technological and economic conditions. These challenges have amplified the importance of facilitating the access to, and sharing of, knowledge. At the same time, IT Departments are being forced to reduce costs and enable greater productivity. This has led to a natural migration towards more mobile, virtual, and cloudbased user environments that require data to be accessed and shared outside traditional corporate infrastructure. Information security sits at the intersection of business and IT operations as the bulwark against threats to productivity and competitiveness. Security managers must implement data protection measures to support business strategies that frequently leverage the bleeding edge of IT technology. This often means building an information security program that enables: Secure operations in high-risk geographies Migration of IT infrastructure to virtual and cloud environments Employee use of personal laptops, tablets, and smart phones on the corporate network (i.e. consumerization ) Secure data storage and collaboration inside or outside the network Traditional drivers for data security like compliance and privacy laws are being reprioritized by a growing urgency to neutralize threats that can cause material harm to businesses if left unmanaged. Each new data loss incident at the hands of a privileged insider or targeted cyber attack further exposes the inadequacy of security technologies designed to check boxes for regulatory audits, but do little to protect data when it s most at risk. Assuring the compliant and secure uses of critical information at all times without impacting business processes requires a data-centric security model: Global visibility into data risk by user, location, content sensitivity, and activity Classification meta-tagging that permanently reside with a sensitive file or email Centralized policy management for endpoint, mobile device, and network-level data monitoring and controls Risk-appropriate policy enforcement that drives end user accountability and productivity Actionable alerting and reporting that proactively prevents data loss incidents Contextual and user-attributable event forensics with integrated case management As business strategy becomes more dependent on the increased mobility and availability of sensitive information, traditional IT infrastructure becomes a less relevant waypoint to monitor and control data. Addressing today s risks requires more adaptable security solutions that offer predictable protection to data in the face of unpredictable threats.
