The way we access data has changed. We must also change the way we protect it

January 23, 2024

All companies, with no exception, manage sensitive data and information for which availability, integrity, and confidentiality must be ensured. In addition, such information is often subject to specific regulatory compliance for companies in terms of privacy, security, and legality.

Information can be at rest, in transit, or in use, and can be intercepted, accessed, leaked, or stolen by a malicious actor or intentionally by a user at any time, resulting in data exfiltration or leakage.

Data loss is a growing challenge worldwide, and also in Spain. A study by Proofpoint reveals that 58% of Spanish security managers have had to deal with a material loss of sensitive data in the last 12 months.

According to Proofpoint, nearly half (49%) of CISOs surveyed do not believe their organization's data is adequately protected.

New data loss protection solutions

In many cases, traditional data loss protection (DLP) solutions have focused on corporate tools and perimeters designed to keep sensitive information in and malicious actors out. But this approach focuses on data in use, in motion and at rest within the organization, without much context outside of this.

Today's reality is quite different: most employees work outside the office, using corporate and even personal devices. This has meant that the way they work, connect, communicate, collaborate, access, and interact with data has changed as well.

New ways of working require people-centric solutions to protect sensitive information and data inside and outside the organization.

This new way of working requires a paradigm shift in information protection. A new way of protecting sensitive data that applies both outside and inside the organization and is more people centric.
