1. Data Protection Solutions – Secure Your Information Lifecycle
The increasing demands of big data, mobility and cloud services have heightened the security risks in the corporate
networks. As a result, the importance of data protection is on the rise. Most organizations today are aiming for an
organized IT management with a holistic approach that would use bandwidth effectively whilst safeguarding data
and offer tools for application monitoring. In addition to that, it also ensures a reliable experience and keeps the
sensitive data secure.
Traditionally, critical mission data was exclusively saved on centralized servers. Today information resides
everywhere as the users create, avail and share data whilst “on the go” and from various devices. With the
evolution of accessibility, the importance of data protection solutions to secure mission critical data too has
become prominent. The first level of data protection can be implemented at the interface, i.e. between the
applications. Selected applications can enable you to lock critical data by using a password and the receiving
application enables the data to be unlocked only after the user verifies with the same password. Therefore data
risk management frameworks are of utmost significance.
Is your existing data protection solution enabling central management of file and folder level backups of every
device in the IT environment, irrespective of whether you are presently logged into the corporate network? If not,
then it is essential for you to opt for the advanced data protection solution introduced by the information risk
management service providers. The solution functions in three phases:
Strategy and Design
In this phase the solution provider analyzes your data protection requirements and sets up an efficient data
classification strategy and policy. The service provider also assesses your critical data, who owns it, who creates it,
how it is used, how it is shared etc. Depending on this detailed risk assessment a data protection framework is
created to address current and emerging trends like BYOD, Cloud, Mobility and many more.
Control and Integration
During this phase the service provider helps you to implement the appropriate security and data protection
technologies like data leakage prevention (DLP), information / digital rights management, and database access
monitoring (DAM) tools. They also offer project management and technical implementation skills for efficient
implementation according to the design criteria.
Sustenance and Optimization
In this final phase, the solution providers help you to optimize and tune the technology implementation for
ensuring better alignment with business data movement rules, minimizations in false positives, KPI reporting and
deploying a robust incident management and consequence management framework for ongoing vigilance. This is
what leads to setting up a culture of data protection within an enterprise.
Advanced data protection solutions help enterprises to implement a complete data protection framework all
through the information lifecycle. These solutions have a modular and holistic approach, that enables companies
to evaluate, transform and sustain data protection.
