Intelligent Data Security at Scale with Fortanix and BigID
Data-Centric Security from Discovery to Enforcement
Organizations large and small house petabytes of data across myriads of data repositories. Heterogeneous data sources reside in different environments such as, big data platforms, collaboration systems (e.g., SharePoint), cloud-based file-sharing services (Google Docs and Dropbox), legacy mainframe systems, emails, PDFs—you name it.
It doesn’t take an expert to figure out that grappling with such massive data volumes, diverse repository types, and varying data sensitivity levels—makes data discovery and security a challenge. In addition to the breadth of data sources,industry-specific and regulatory mandates such as HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, PCI compliance compound the complexity around data integrity, confidentiality, and security.
A foolproof approach to secure data begins with knowing what data you hold, where it’s located, and its context—before you apply policies to comply with various privacy and security mandates.
Once you have an accurate inventory of all your data, businesses can roll out data security measures with confidence such as encryption, tokenization, and HSMs. These technologies secure data from accidental or intentional compromise and ensure compliance controls—according to data type, data sensitivity, and the value it holds.
