The Anatomy of a Data Breach

In modern, cloud-centric enterprises, the data substrate has shifted from on-prem to cloud. The attack surface is no longer shielded by a traditional security perimeter, which has left corporate assets increasingly exposed. The growing prevalence of attacks focused exclusively on data, such as ransomware, have heightened the need for enterprises to rethink how they approach data security. However, the tools built to secure on-prem data are no match for the challenges of a multi-cloud ecosystem spread across identity, apps, data systems, and cloud services, as they provide zero visibility into cloud-native data and do not address the proliferation of identities, such as employees, partners, contractors, service accounts, and others.

To truly secure your data sources requires managing authorization and controlling the specific actions users can take on the data.
