If your organisation carries out business in the European Union, then you may be aware that your life is about to become a lot more complicated starting in May 2018. That’s when the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will take effect. IBM is positioned to help you develop strategies to address the challenges of the GDPR. Our Pathways for GDPR readiness are phased programme engagement points and cognitive capabilities which can accelerate your journey. This new, stronger regulation will aim to harmonise data protection across all 28 EU Member States.

With cybercriminals threatening nations globally, cybersecurity is taking a front seat in many regions. Most notably, the European Union (EU) has adopted regulations to combat the threats.

This new body of mandated policies and procedures aims to protect EU member personal information collected and/or stored by organizations. Read more in the GDPR business brief.

The Cibecs and IDG Connect annual Data Loss Survey uncovers the latest trends and statistics around business data protection

Ensuring your data is compliant can be a fairly straightforward task. Your IT team works their way through the checklist, and stays out of trouble with lawyers and regulatory agencies. There’s value to that. But true data protection is more than regulatory compliance. In fact, even if you’re compliant, your organization could still be at risk unless you strategically identify and protect your most valuable data. Traditionally, you’ve been presented with IT security metrics—sometimes reassuring, other times alarming. But simply reviewing IT security metrics is not meaningful in and of itself. As an executive, you don’t evaluate issues in siloes. Instead, you excel at assessing issues in the broader context of your organizational operations. In other words, technical security data and metrics lack value unless viewed through the lens of business risk. When you’re presented with IT security metrics, your question is: What does this mean for my business? And ultimately, what data should I

As digital business evolves, however, we’re finding that the best form of security and enablement will likely remove any real responsibility from users. They will not be required to carry tokens, recall passwords or execute on any security routines. Leveraging machine learning, artificial intelligence, device identity and other technologies will make security stronger, yet far more transparent. From a security standpoint, this will lead to better outcomes for enterprises in terms of breach prevention and data protection. Just as important, however, it will enable authorized users in new ways. They will be able to access the networks, data and collaboration tools they need without friction, saving time and frustration. More time drives increased employee productivity and frictionless access to critical data leads to business agility. Leveraging cloud, mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures, enterprises will be able to transform key metrics such as productivity, profitabilit
