The Future of Securing Data Storage

Written by SecureWorld News Team | Tue | Feb 19, 2019 | 5:46 PM Z

The 2019 Thales Data Threat Report tells us “no organization is immune from data security threats, and in fact, we found that the most sophisticated organizations are more likely to indicate that they have experienced a data security breach.”

This is particularly alarming, considering some 97 percent of report survey respondents say they are using sensitive data with digitally transformative technologies. And, while encryption is the widely agreed upon bedrock on which best practice data security rests, less than 30 percent of respondents deploy encryption in these environments.

In today’s digital world, data can be an organization’s most valuable asset. An asset that is growing exponentially and facing relentless security threats. Effectively managing and securing an organization’s data requires a mix of several elements, including efficiency, reliability, agility, and, of course, trust. How these elements are combined and implemented is open to interpretation as well as ongoing evolution.

Pure Storage and Thales eSecurity will be addressing this topic in a SecureWorld web conference on Wednesday, February 20, at 10 a.m. PST. In this session, we’ll review the current state of data security, outline today’s best practices, and provide a vision as to where data storage security is heading.

The topics covered will include:

  • Current state of data security: Key takeaways from the Thales eSecurity Data Threat Report
  • Encryption fundamentals: The different kinds of encryption, tradeoffs between them, and what each is best suited for
  • Key management fundamentals: What’s needed as well as some best practices
  • Storage fundamentals and security issues, challenges, and best practices
  • A vision of the future of storage security
