Data Access Versus Data Security: The Tug-of-War Between CDOs and CISOs

Abandoned and shadow data are not just buzzwords; they represent a critical challenge in data management and security. Is it possible that you may be storing data you don’t know you have, some of which might include valuable or sensitive information…all of which is completely forgotten by everyone except cyber criminals?

There are valid reasons why this happens:
-Employees create data repositories in Google Drive, SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, that IT is unaware of.
-Data is backed up without a lifecycle plan, so even when the originating data sources are purged, the backups are forgotten.
-Layoffs, terminations, and other employee activities occur, but no one thinks about the data they leave behind.
-Organizations going through mergers and acquisitions consolidate data repositories, sometimes leaving the original data stores in place.

Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into the challenges and solutions associated with abandoned data stores. What you will learn during this 30-minute live event:
-The risks and costs associated with data you don’t know you have.
-How DSPM can help security and data teams gain detailed insights into who can access this data, the last time it was accessed, how much of it is valuable or sensitive data.
-Best practices for remediation based on compliance requirements, backup options and more.

This overlooked data costs your organization money and increases security risks. Why not clear out that data to optimize your storage management and improve your security posture? Register now!

DSPM for Proactive Data Protection & Recovery

With the widespread adoption of cloud computing, more sensitive data has moved into virtual environments far from the safe harbor of legacy on-premises data security controls. This raises two critical questions: Is this data secure, and is it secure throughout its lifecycle across the enterprise data environment? 

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) addresses these concerns by actively discovering and analyzing sensitive data in motion, expediting risk mitigation as data traverses cloud platforms.

Join Normalyze Head of Product Gautam Kanaparthi as he demonstrates how DSPM principles enable enterprises to get a complete view of their data. Key takeaways from the demo will include: 
 
- Data Flow Visualization: See data-in-transit mapping, understand how sensitive data is accessed, and spot policy violations with interactive graphs.

- Data Lineage Insights: Gain insight into how a particular piece of sensitive data has proliferated across your data environment and ensure it is secure everywhere.

- Data access Governance: Continuously assess and monitor data access, enabling swift resolution of dormant, over-privileged accounts and enforcing least privilege for sensitive data.

- Anomaly Detection: Uncover suspicious activity, including data breaches and account takeovers, through continuous user behavior analysis without predefined rules.

- Data Detection and Response: Go beyond configuration checks and detect risky activities around critical data assets leading to data exfiltration

DSPM for Data in Motion

Through interoperable cloud services, attackers defeat native security tools and move laterally through the cloud infrastructure.

In this webinar, Abhinav highlights the real cloud data risk chains that lead to account takeover and exposure of sensitive data and shows what can be done to prevent these attacks.

Examples of adversarial tactics include but are not limited to

* Abusing the account organization’s setup to onboard an external account and making it a trusted entity to avoid detection and perform data exfiltration. 
*Attacker abuses the cross-account trust relation to move laterally between different accounts leading to a fan-out effect while remaining completely hidden from defense tools like Guardduty. 
* An identity-based attack that chains multiple IAM permissions to build an ROP-like privilege escalation scenario and compromise the entire cloud infrastructure.
