A data-centric program
To implement data-centric security, while simultaneously empowering your business to compete and win in today’s nano-second world, you need to understand your data flows and your business needs from your data. Begin by answering some important questions:
•
What does your organization need from your data in order to extract the maximum business value and gain a competitive advantage?
•
What opportunities might be leveraged by improving the security posture of the data?
•
What risks exist based upon your current security posture? What would the impact of a data breach be on the organization? Be specific!
•
Have you clearly defined which data (both structured and unstructured) residing across your extended enterprise is most important to your business? Where is it?
•
What people, processes and technology are currently employed to protect your business sensitive information?
•
Who in your organization requires access to data and for what specific purposes?
•
What time constraints exist upon the organization that might affect the technical infrastructure?
•
What must you do to comply with the myriad government and industry regulations relevant to your business?
Finally, ask yourself what a successful data-centric protection program should look like in your organization. What’s most appropriate for your organization?
The answers to these and other related questions would provide you with a clearer picture of your enterprise’s “data attack surface,” which in turn will provide you with a well-documented risk profile. By answering these questions and thinking holistically about where your data is, how it’s being used and by whom, you’ll be well positioned to design and implement a robust, business-enabling data-centric protection plan that is tailored to the unique requirements of your organization.
