Episode notes
Complex Data Sprawl Challenge
- Organizations have complex environments with data and applications spread across many cloud and SaaS platforms.
- This sprawl makes it very difficult to know where sensitive data and critical applications reside for proper security management.
Prioritize Visibility for Risk Management
- Prioritize gaining visibility into sensitive data and critical tier-zero and tier-one applications to effectively manage cyber risks.
- Avoid reactive security approaches that do not focus on protecting your organization’s most valuable assets proactively.
More Spending, More Breaches
- Many organizations spend more on security yet are breached more often due to poor visibility across their growing infrastructure.
- Developers often create resources without best practices, complicating security and increasing risks.
