Attach security directly to the data: stakes and realities.

In our digital age where, IT decision-makers feel their organization’s perimeter security is effective at keeping out security threats, where unauthorized users are still able to access your networks, where organizations that experienced data breaches suffered negative commercial consequences, where  sophisticated breaches are on the rise, where relying on perimeter security systems alone is no longer enough, where Traditional security staples such as firewalls and anti-virus should be part of a much greater security strategy, where IT decision makers need to take into account that if someone is motivated enough they will breach a network, no matter how well it is protected, Connectikpeople.co recalls that:

Decision makers should place greater importance on customer data, and look to adopt a ‘secure the breach’ approach that focuses on securing the data after intruders penetrate the perimeter defenses. 

This means they need to attach security directly to the data itself using inter alia: multi-factor authentication and data encryption, as well as securely managing encryption keys. That way, if the data is stolen, it is useless to the thief.
