data protection

In midsize and large organizations, critical business processing continues to depend on relational databases including Microsoft® SQL Server. While new tools like Hadoop help businesses analyze oceans of Big Data, conventional relational-database management systems (RDBMS) remain the backbone for online transaction processing (OLTP), online analytic processing (OLAP), and mixed OLTP/OLAP workloads.

For nearly a decade, Cisco has published comprehensive cybersecurity reports that are designed to keep security teams and the businesses they support apprised of cyber threats and vulnerabilities—and informed about steps they can take to improve security and cyber-resiliency. In these reports, we strive to alert defenders to the increasing sophistication of threats and the techniques that adversaries use to compromise users, steal information, and create disruption.

Data—dynamic, in demand and distributed—is challenging to secure. But you need to protect sensitive data, whether it’s stored on premises, off-site, or in big-data, private- or hybrid-cloud environments. Protecting sensitive data can take many forms, but nearly any organization needs to keep its data accessible, protect data from loss or compromise, and comply with a raft of regulations and mandates. These can include the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Even in the cloud, where you may have less immediate control, you must still control your sensitive data—and compliance mandates still apply.

Just a few years ago, many organizations turned to private cloud environments to help increase flexibility and control costs—largely because of the immaturity and lack of control within the public cloud environments then available. Today, however, the decision to “go cloud” is less of a binary, and more of a spectrum of choices, spanning different deployment models (public, private and hybrid) and service types, including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS.

Password-protected PDFs tout the ability to share your sensitive data securely. But several factors make them vulnerable, which means your firm and clients’ information could easily be exposed to hackers. Download this white paper to learn how password protection failures cause your firm to: Lose data when colleagues share passwords with others, especially through email. Face risk by not knowing if an unauthorized person has accessed your files. Have clients’ PDF files cracked by hackers in minutes.

The General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) was approved and adopted by the EU Parliament in April 2016 with the goal to protect all EU citizens from privacy and data breaches. What is the scope of the GDPR? How does it impact your organisation? This white paper guides you so your organization can meet the needs of GDPR.

The GDPR is set to have wide-ranging implications for the type of data which can be used in non-production environments. Organizations will need to understand exactly what data they have and who’s using it, and must be able to restrict its use to tasks for which consent has been given.

Tenuto conto del fatto che la GDPR è stato annunciato formalmente solo di recente, si evidenzia un buon livello di consapevolezza tra i partecipanti. Una volta informati sul regolamento, l'88% degli intervistati ha dichiarato che la propria azienda deve affrontare difficoltà tecnologiche per la compliance alla GDPR. Il percorso verso la compliance è percepito come molto laborioso.

Oltre il 90% delle aziende ritiene che il GDPR influenzerà le proprie modalità di raccolta, utilizzo ed elaborazione di dati personali. È uno dei cambiamenti più rivoluzionari apportati al panorama della privacy digitale negli ultimi vent'anni e, nel mese di maggio 2018, il GDPR dell'Unione europea introdurrà sanzioni fino a 20 milioni di euro in caso di mancata compliance.

In this paper, you will find the results of a survey commissioned by CA Technologies to understand the readiness of organizations to meet the compliance needs of the GDPR. Given the GDPR is set to have wide-ranging implications for the type of data that can be used in non-production environments, CA Technologies wanted in particular to understand how companies are planning for the GDPR and what processes and technology is needed to help them.

Banks today are continuously challenged to meet rigorous regulatory requirements. They must implement strict governance programs that enable them to comply with a wide variety of regulations stemming from the financial crisis that began in 2007, including the DoddFrank Act, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision regulations, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and the revised Markets in Financial Instruments Directive To keep pace with regulatory changes, many banks will need to reapportion their budgets to support the development of new systems and processes. Regulators continually indicate that the banks must be able to provide, secure and deliver high-quality information that is consistent and mature.

Banks deal with mountains of data and complex transactions that far too often don’t capitalize on the power of an always-on, real-time data management platform to provide both financial insights and peace of mind. Today’s cloud applications require a new, far more holistic approach to data management and data protection. This eBook explains why the scalability, 100% availability, enterprise-grade security, and real-time insights of DataStax Enterprise are essential for banking in the modern world.

Keeping the pace of a data-driven economy means having an infrastructure that can scale with it. Research from Nemertes explains how the transformation happens.

The Business Case for Data Protection, conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by Ounce Labs, is the first study to determine what senior executives think about the value proposition of corporate data protection efforts within their organizations. In times of shrinking budgets, it is important for those individuals charged with managing a data protection program to understand how key decision makers in organizations perceive the importance of safeguarding sensitive and confidential information.

Marketers can personalize interactions using information that spans complete anonymity to full authentication, with a middle range in which identified data may be used intermittently. The distinction between anonymous and authenticated hinges on personally identifiable information (PII)—information that can be used alone, in combination, or in context to contact an individual. This information includes unique and partial identifiers such as name, address, phone number, and email address, as well as financial, employment, or other data associated with an individual.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been approved by the European Union and demands significant data protection safeguards to be implemented by organizations around the world. Learn how you can successfully prepare for GDPR with advice from Osterman Research.

This paper sets out five basic steps organizations may want to consider to help set up a framework for managing GDPR risk.
