Nuestro reciente estudio de investigación, “Informe CISO 2024: El estado actual de la seguridad de datos, la gobernanza y la IA,” revealed that to address security concerns such as exposed data and over-permissioned users, nearly half of CISOs are turning to Gestión de posturas de seguridad de datos (DSPM) to proactively identify and mitigate insider risk. Traditional legacy methods of data protection like DLP are no longer enough to provide security teams with the kind of flexibility and coverage needed to effectively safeguard against various evolving threats.
Too Many Hands in the Cookie Jar
In many organizations, exposed data and overly permissive user access controls create significant vulnerabilities. These gaps make organizations prime targets for malicious actors or increase the risk of accidental data breaches by employees. This lack of control over acceso a los datos leaves sensitive information at constant risk, posing a significant challenge for CISOs striving to maintain a robust security posture.
Exposed data can be inadvertently accessed by usuarios no autorizados, while over-permissioned users have access rights beyond what is necessary for their roles. These issues complicate the enforcement of security policies and hinder the ability to protect sensitive data effectively. Consequently, CISOs face an ongoing battle to secure their organizations against potential violaciones de datos y amenazas internas.
