Data-Driven Risk Management: Enhancing ServiceNow IRM with BigID
As we recognize Cybersecurity Awareness Month under the theme “Secure Our World,” organizations grapple with an increasingly complex data landscape. The proliferation of data sources, coupled with evolving threats and stringent regulations, has made safeguarding sensitive information a critical concern for nearly every organization.
Some of the key challenges when securing your data and mitigating data risk include:
- Data Sprawl: The widespread distribution of data across on-premises and cloud environments creates a vast and challenging landscape to navigate.
- Lack of Visibility & Control: Identifying and categorizing sensitive information within this sprawling landscape is a critical yet often overlooked task.
- Regulatory Compliance: Organizations must adhere to a complex web of data privacy regulations, such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, which can be burdensome and costly.
- Data Risk Management: Traditional reactive security measures are no longer sufficient. Organizations need to adopt proactive approaches to identify and mitigate risks before they can exploit vulnerabilities.
These challenges highlight the need for comprehensive data security to help organizations navigate the complexities of modern cloud data environments and protect their most sensitive and valuable data assets.
