Data Risk Management: Rethinking Data Discovery and Classification

Defining data via data discovery and classification is an often overlooked, yet critical, component of data security and control. Security and risk (S&R) pros can't expect to adequately protect data if they don't have knowledge about what data exists, where it resides, its value to the organization, and who can use it. Data classification also helps to create data identity (data-ID), the missing link for creating actionable data security and control policies. Yet, S&R pros who attempt to lead efforts to classify data are thwarted by their own efforts with overly complex classification schemes and haphazard approaches.

2020 Cyber Security Predictions

whitePaper | January 28, 2020

This year there are some common themes that endure, so we’ll highlight these as “work in progress”. Transformations often take longer than 12 months to be identifi ed as necessary, to be executed and to become established. However, there are other themes emerging through a combination of drivers from audit, compliance security and governance that are now showing signs of infl uencing the way that cyber risks are managed in a much shorter timescale.

Cisco Secure and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework

whitePaper | December 6, 2022

Cybersecurity can seem overwhelming, and there’s plenty of long to-do lists. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has the Critical Security Controls, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has its 27000-series publications, and ISACA manages its COBIT 5 framework. Layer those atop compliance mandates like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) — and it’s often hard to know where to start.

Guide to Cloud Security Posture Management Tools

whitePaper | June 16, 2023

Good cloud security hygiene starts with complete visibility into the security and compliance posture of every resource you deploy into your cloud. It’s one thing to achieve this visibility in a single cloud environment—you can lean heavily on the native monitoring and auditing tools of your cloud provider, using third-party solutions to fill in gaps (e.g., threat detection)—but in a multi-cloud architecture, maintaining robust cloud security posture becomes exponentially more complex. It is much more difficult to achieve centralized visibility as well as consistently enforce policies and compliance rules within a multi-cloud environment. It’s also more complicated to detect threats and fix vulnerabilities quickly due to the sheer complexity of threats across distributed, multilayered architectures. You can address these challenges, though—and you need to, if you want to take advantage of multi-cloud architecture without compromising on security.
