The Growing Challenge of Data Fragmentation
As organizations grow and digital transformation accelerates, sensitive data often becomes scattered across multiple platforms, both locally and in the cloud. This fragmentation poses significant risks, including data breaches and non-compliance with regulations. How can enterprises gain visibility and control over their sensitive data?
IBM Security Discover and Classify (ISDC) offers a robust solution to this pressing issue. ISDC’s scalable architecture provides deep visibility into data risk at the repository level, enabling security professionals to prioritize which assets to protect. With ISDC, you can effortlessly discover and classify sensitive data across on-premise, mainframe, and cloud environments. The platform continuously updates its catalog, ensuring that you always have an up-to-date view of your sensitive data landscape.
Enhancing Security & Compliance
One of the primary challenges faced by organizations is the inability to assign appropriate security policies to different network elements and repositories due to a lack of visibility into the location of various data assets. ISDC addresses this challenge by providing near real-time insights into the location and context of sensitive data. This capability enables security professionals to assign tailored policies to data assets, ensuring comprehensive protection.
Existing security, privacy, and compliance tools are often overwhelmed with alerts, causing critical threats to be overlooked. ISDC mitigates this issue by focusing on the 15% of data that is business-critical, reducing the noise and allowing existing tools to concentrate on actual threats. This focus significantly reduces the mean time to response (MTTR) from an average of 4.5 days to mere seconds.
Global enterprises must comply with different privacy regulations across various regions, adding another layer of complexity to data management. ISDC’s DSAR workflow, entity configuration, and tagging capabilities allow organizations to manage and comply with diverse regulatory requirements efficiently. By associating repositories and networks with specific business, operational, and alerting rules, ISDC ensures that organizations remain compliant with local regulations.
Scalability & Holistic Data Security
As organizational networks grow and evolve, maintaining visibility into sensitive data across different platforms becomes increasingly challenging. ISDC’s scalable architecture seamlessly adapts to these changes, scanning and discovering new repositories with minimal manual intervention. This capability ensures that organizations maintain comprehensive data discovery and protection, even as their environments expand.
Additionally, ISDC provides a holistic approach to data security by scanning both structured and unstructured data and building a relationship map between personal data and the data subject. This approach ensures that all data sources, repositories, file systems, mainframe sources, and cloud systems are detected and scanned automatically, providing a comprehensive view of the data landscape.
