The Evolving Data Security Landscape

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, data has become thelifeblood of businesses, driving critical decision-making processes
and shaping the very essence of modern organizations. However,with the explosive growth of data and the widespread adoptionof cloud computing, organizations face increasing complexity inmanaging data security, privacy, and governance.
As data volumes surge and cyberattacks become more sophisticated,organizations must contend with the risk of data breaches, insider
threats, and adhering to regulatory requirements. Whether a businessis subject to the California Privacy Rights Enforcement Act (CPRA),
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or other privacy regulations,these laws include articles requiring data protection, minimization,
portability, business purpose, and the consumer’s right to data deletion.
Navigating compliance requirements is further compounded fororganizations by the proliferation of dark data where sensitive data
can reside, unprotected and exposed. As data accumulates acrossvarious platforms, it becomes increasingly difficult to accurately
identify all high-value information. This lack of visibility posessignificant data security and compliance risks, making comprehensive
data discovery and classification essential for effective protection.

#1 impact
on how organizations are driving cybersecurity:
Escalating regulatory demands forcybersecurity and data privacy
Shortcomings of Current Point Solutions Approach
In light of these market dynamics, organizations need robust data
security, privacy, and governance; however, today’s current point
solutions approach is falling short. Individual solutions are often
limited to handling either unstructured or structured data in isolatedsilos. Also, many only address narrow use cases, such as data loss
prevention (DLP) or unstructured data discovery, leaving other criticalaspects unattended.
The growing number of disparate solutions creates a managementnightmare as they lack proper integration and lead to coverage gaps
within the data ecosystem. This fragmented approach and lack of data
visibility and insight hinders organizations from effectively protecting
their data assets and maintaining comprehensive security across their
entire data landscape.

Our core grammar sets focus on:

LOCATE, CATEGORIZE, ASSESS, AND QUANTIFY THE
VOLUME AND RISK LEVEL OF YOUR SENSITIVE DATA• PII—Personally Identifiable Information, including 13 categories ofentities across 38 different countries• Data protection• Data monitoring

To protect data, you must first have a clear understanding of
where your sensitive data resides. Voltage Fusion enables yourcomprehensive data discovery with scanning, tagging, analytics,
risk measurement, data sensitivity, and personal data discovery acrossyour structured and unstructured repositories, giving you vital visibility
into the location of your sensitive data so you can safeguard it.
The platform’s cloud-based data discovery spans across file systems,
databases, and cloud data warehouses. With fast and intelligent
data scanning capabilities, Voltage Fusion can identify at-risk datarepositories in a matter of days—rather than weeks—reducing thetime and effort required for your discovery process.
You’ll gain optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities todetect sensitive data in scanned images and other media files.

databases for retirement and gain insights into applications
interacting with sensitive data, preventing or minimizing outages,
enhancing privacy posture, supporting IT modernization efforts,
and promoting green-IT and sustainability initiatives.
GovernDEFENSIBLE DELETION OF UNNEEDED DATAHELPS ENSURE PRIVACY COMPLIANCE AND
DRIVES DOWN DATA MANAGEMENT COSTS

Data and application sprawl have constantly led to a bloat ofredundant data (duplication, and convenience copies of data spreadout across the enterprise and in cloud repositories). The same istrue for out of date, stale data (data that has not been accessed forextended periods of time) or low-value data that simply takes up
storage space and resources to manage (data like vacation photos
or .DLL or .ZIP files).
A well-structured data management strategy includes data lifecycle
actions such as data deletion, records declaration, and archiving,which are essential for maintaining compliance with various
regulations, minimizing data risk, and reducing data storage costs.
By carefully implementing defensible data deletion practices,
organizations can apply remediation actions to control accessand manage high-value data securely.

Risk Mitigation and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM)
Risk mitigation, especially regarding privacy and data protection,
has become a critical factor in gaining a competitive advantage.
Organizations that can highlight a robust risk management andprivacy practice, centered on safeguarding customer data andfostering trust, can effectively set themselves apart in the market.
By demonstrating a strong commitment to data security, organizations
can leverage it as a compelling differentiator that drives customer
loyalty and business growth.
Corporate data is the new oil—it drives revenue, improves efficiency,
builds relationships and trust, and creates corporate legacy. A data
breach can destroy that value quickly—impacting corporate
reputation, customer trust, and brand—not to mention the negative
impacts from financial penalties, fines, and sanctions.
That is why Voltage Fusion includes a financial risk model based on
the data you discover in your environment. You can see what yourorganization’s fiscal impact could be if the data gets into the wrong
hands. Since no one data breach is ever the same, rather than a fixed
number, Fusion provides risk probability and a range of potential
financial impacts. The added benefit of seeing data value and financial
impact in case of a breach can help drive DSPM discussions withbusiness owners of the data.
