Initiatives: Security of Applications and Data
Innovation of controls focused on data secrecy and entitlements is
accelerating, with service providers enabling highly effective
granular controls. We profile four pioneering vendors that could
potentially help security and risk management leaders maximize
the value of sharing data assets.
Overview
Key Findings
Recommendations
To shrink the attack surface of their organization’s data, while enabling new data-sharing
and data-processing use cases, SRM leaders responsible for data security must:
Security and risk management (SRM) leaders want to derive more value from their
data by making it more usable and accessible. However, leveraging data frequently
results in an increased attack surface vulnerable to less-trusted third parties and
malicious insiders.
■
To address this problem, several startup vendors are basing innovative products on
established academic science or extending mature commercial products to minimize
the attack surface and reduce the risk of data exposure.
■
These products:
■
Extend and simplify traditional data controls over an organization’s own data
in, for example, collaboration use cases, without controlling every device,
network and application that people use.
■
Have data-in-use encryption capabilities that have been proven in critical
environments.
■
Extend data-in-use protection to devices and endpoints.
