Do You Know Who Owns Your Data

Managing access to enterprise applications and data has changed in the past few years as data breaches have become increasingly more frequent and pervasive events. Organizations must understand that their data is not safe from being the target of an attack, and hackers have slowly but surely transitioned to attacking the human vector: an organization’s users. Its identities.

But the threat of a data breach should not be the only spur to secure access to an organization’s data. While the inevitability of an attempted data breach – if not a successful one – is nearly certain, organizations must learn to instead focus on what they can do once they are well-prepared for a breach. And it all starts with unstructured data.
