How can organizations protect data in a hybrid work environment?
Organizations can implement holistic insider risk management to address data protection challenges in a hybrid work environment. This involves detecting and preventing misuse of authorized access, whether intentional or unintentional. Key steps include prioritizing employee training, integrating privacy controls, and ensuring cross-organizational buy-in to foster a culture of security.
What is the importance of knowing your data?
Understanding your data is essential as many organizations struggle with 'dark data'—data that is collected but not utilized. With 42% of organizations reporting that at least half of their data is dark, automating data discovery and classification can help organizations manage and protect their data effectively, ensuring compliance and maximizing its business value.
How can organizations defend against identity-based threats?
Organizations should implement a Zero Trust framework, which emphasizes verifying explicitly, using least privileged access, and assuming breach. This approach helps protect against unauthorized access to data and ensures compliance across various environments. By adopting unified identity services and continuously monitoring for suspicious activity, organizations can enhance their security posture.
