The New Enterprise Paradigm
• Cloud computing, IoT and the disappearing perimeter
• Data is the new currency
Rethinking Data Security for a Boundless World
• The new wave of challenges to security and productivity
• Seamless, boundless security framework – data flow
• Maximize data utility & minimizing risk – finding the right balance
Agenda
• Maximize data utility & minimizing risk – finding the right balance
New Security Solutions, Technologies and Techniques
• Data-centric security technologies
• Data security and utility outside the enterprise
• Cloud data security in context to the enterprise
Best Practices

Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report
• Enterprises are losing ground in the fight
against persistent cyber-attacks
• We simply cannot catch the bad guys until it is
too late. This picture is not improving
• Verizon reports concluded that less than 14%
of breaches are detected by internal
Enterprises Losing Ground Against Cyber-attacks
of breaches are detected by internal
monitoring tools
JP Morgan Chase data breach
• Hackers were in the bank’s network for months
undetected
• Network configuration errors are inevitable,
even at the larges banks
We need a new approach to data security

High-profile Cyber Attacks
49% recommended Database security
40% of budget still on Network security

only
19% to database security
Conclusion: Organisations have traditionally spent money on network security and so it is
earmarked in the budget and requires no further justification

Cloud Data

Rather than making the protection platform based,
the security is applied directly to the data
Protecting the data wherever it goes, in any
environment
Data-Centric Protection Increases
Security in Cloud Computing
Cloud environments by nature have more access
points and cannot be disconnected
Data-centric protection reduces the reliance on
controlling the high number of access points

Key Challenges
Storing and/or processing data in the cloud increases the risks
of noncompliance through unapproved access and data

Service providers will limit their liabilities to potential data

Recommendations
Simplify audits & address data residency and compliance issues
by applying encryption or tokenization and access controls.
Digitally shred sensitive data at its end of life by deleting the
encryption keys or tokens
Understand that protecting sensitive data in cloud-based

Understand that protecting sensitive data in cloud-based
software as a service (SaaS) applications may require trading off
security and functionality
Assess each encryption solution by following the data to
understand when data appears in clear text, where keys are
made available and stored, and who has access to the keys

Tokenization Research
Tokenization Gets Traction
Aberdeen has seen a steady increase in enterprise
use of tokenization for protecting sensitive data over
encryption
Nearly half of the respondents (47%) are currently
using tokenization for something other than cardholder
data
Tokenization users had 50% fewer security-related
incidents than tokenization non-users

Enterprise Data Security Policy
What is the sensitive data that needs to be protected.
How you want to protect and present sensitive data. There are several methods
for protecting sensitive data. Encryption, tokenization, monitoring, etc.
Who should have access to sensitive data and who should not. Security access
control.
What
Who
How
46
When should sensitive data access be granted to those who have access. Day
of week, time of day.
Where is the sensitive data stored? This will be where the policy is enforced.
