THE HUMAN ELEMENT IS THE LINK IN THE CHAIN
Data Anywhere, Anytime
Employees today can access workplace data from virtually anywhere, often in the palm of their hands, blurring the secured network borders of the organization. Due to this increased ease of admittance, superior precautions must be taken to ensure data security beyond standard user provisioning and passwords.
Strengthen security with intelligent identity and access management
Now, a people-centric approach is required to securing network data. It’s not enough to only be vigilant over who gets access to data; knowing what the users do with data after it’s accessed is of high significance in today’s world. With this approach an organization can minimize risks to their data security and better defend against threats across the enterprise, from mainframe to smart phone
It’s Not Only Employees
The business environment necessitates data sharing with a wide group of people beyond employees, such as: contractors, customers, partners, and suppliers. These diverse users access data via secured networks, the cloud, and the Web, making the task of data security daunting. Without knowing how data is used once it is accessed, the organization is left with a large blind spot. Providing strong gate keeping to secured data is the first step, but more management capabilities are needed once your data is in user’s hands.
