As the information economy relies increasingly on Cloud-based services, organizations in every industry find themselves reevaluating their data strategies. There are more opportunities for leveraging data than ever before, but also more exposure, and a much larger pool of risk. That’s why data awareness is more important than ever: companies need to be very diligent about data provenance, usage and security.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor as he outlines why the data landscape is changing, and how organizations can optimize their use of information assets. He’ll be briefed by Farshad Ghazi of HP Security Voltage, who will explain how his company’s platform helps senior executives sleep at night. He’ll demonstrate how an array of tools can help ensure the integrity of sensitive data, including Payment Card Information (PCI), Personal Health Information (PHI), and Personal Identity Information.

Perceptions & Questions
Analyst:
Robin Bloor
13. Windows of Opportunity…
u The “security surface”
that needs protection is
always growing
u Security solutions tend to
be fragmented
u The value targets are
health and credit card data
u Big Data is just another
opportunity for the cyber
thief
16. Hadoop Security
u Hadoop presents a wide
area of vulnerability
u Role-based access is
required (for self-service)
u Encryption is desirable, if
not a necessity
u Format-preserving
encryption is preferable
17. The Net Net
IT Security is strategic
Encryption is a primary plank of this
18. u Nobody wants to be insecure. The main
objections to effective IT security come from:
• Inconvenience
• Performance penalties
• Costs?
u Please describe how HP Security Voltage
addresses each of these gating factors in its
implementation.
19. u Are there any environments to which HP Security
Voltage’s technology is inapplicable?
- IoT
- Mobile
- Cloud
- Non-HP platforms
u Which other security vendors/technologies does
HP partner with for data center solutions?
