Data privacy automation: Unlock your most valuable asset>
Help Net Security – Kristina Bergman
New regulations like GDPR and the new California privacy law are triggering a knee-jerk reaction across all sectors as companies look for ways to lock down their data by default for fear of data misuse. This practice is rendering their most valuable resource â data â unusable by their organization. Such an over-reaction clearly isnât the right solution, but itâs the only way most organizations know to protect personal information. What CTOs need to do 1) Map their data 2) Tie policies to it in real time 3) Automate remediation 4) Create an audit trail By bringing together the latest in machine learning and flexible microservices-based architecture, itâs possible to solve this problem and allow organizations to both protect privacy and use their data. Such a platform should be designed to work securely, at scale, no matter where data resides, continually providing an accurate picture of an organizationâs data privacy landscape. Only then will organizations be able to keep up with burgeoning privacy requirements and use their most valuable asset â their data â without fear.
