“ If you adopt a solution that empowers your employees with ease of use and security , it ’ s a win-win ”
RENAUD PERRIER SVP INTERNATIONAL , VIRTRU
That ’ s no longer the case as multi-cloud environments expand , user endpoints multiply , accelerated by the introduction of the ‘ extended enterprise ’ and the major shift to remote working in 2020 . As a result , threat actors have a larger attack surface and number of access points to go after , fuelling the need to shift to a Zero-Trust approach .
By implementing Zero Trust framework that pairs data protection with strong , federated identity management , you can ensure every user and every system is treated with equal caution when it comes to accessing and sharing data . You ' re all on the same team , working to ensure your company ’ s most vital asset remains secure .
Adopt Security That Travels With The Data The average enterprise has over 500 applications that data is either stored in , shared from , or travels through - email , file sharing platforms , SaaS applications and cloud environments . Every application amplifies the risk of a data breach without the right protection in place , but what happens when that data leaves your network ?
If you implement a data-centric security strategy this will protect data with objectlevel encryption . It will essentially wrap each file or message with its own distinct layer of protection , making data sharing far more manageable .
Another benefit of data-centric security is that it protects the data itself , everywhere it travels , leaving you with greater flexibility for the future . This is instrumental in setting yourself up for success in a security landscape that evolves so rapidly . By protecting the data itself , everywhere it travels , you have the flexibility to adopt new tools and vendors , equipping your employees with the collaboration and data sharing tools they want to use . With data-centric methodologies , you can be confident that your strategy is sustainable for the future . With this mindset , you ’ ll choose vendors and partners that align with your approach and can provide you with full control over your own data , everywhere it goes .
