Traditional data protection programs focused on perimeter defense through the use of firewalls. But as companies move towards a cloud information security strategy they adopt a borderless network.
In order to keep pace with this new approach, organizations must make changes. New information security strategies and technologies are approaching this problem at the data level, protecting sensitive data in virtual environments and enriching analytics.
A data lifecycle program will help organizations define how data is stored, shared, and disposed. Users should be taught how to handle data as it pertains to their role. Data classification solutions can help identify sensitive data at creation, providing guidance to users on handling of data types.
