Understanding the Data Security Problem

Data security faces significant challenges due to various factors, including outdated approaches and ineffective governance. Past attempts, like data governance projects and DLP programs, failed to deliver effective solutions, largely because they relied too heavily on human input and cumbersome processes. Individuals often struggled with classifying sensitive information correctly, leading to fragmented security strategies that did not scale well. There is a need to identify and classify data accurately to enhance overall governance and control; otherwise, the existing security measures remain inadequate.
