5 benefits of a modern data security platform

So you're considering a modern approach to data security. But what do you look for? In general, we recommend looking for these five attributes.

1. Simplicity.

A modern data security platform should offer a seamless experience across all environments—on-prem, cloud, and edge—and integrate easily with other IT systems via APIs. This centralization removes data silos and simplifies management. For instance, a top insurance provider saved $2M annually in backup costs and streamlined data management with a smaller team.

2. Scalability.

Modern data platforms must scale effortlessly to manage vast data volumes from applications and devices, and adapt to growing data and user demands. They should handle data from diverse sources—VMs, databases, NAS, SaaS, and cloud—encompassing both structured and unstructured data.

3. Security.

A modern platform adheres to Zero Trust principles, featuring role-based access controls (RBAC), MFA, immutability, and encryption. It secures sensitive data, supports data identification and vaulting, detects attacks, and offers incident response capabilities. Ideally, it also integrates with existing and new security tools to enhance your security posture.

4. Speed.

In a cyberattack or disruption, a modern platform ensures rapid, predictable recovery of critical databases with incremental backups and snapshots stored securely offsite. It offers instant recovery and granular restore options, enabling quick recovery of specific files, databases, or applications. Fortune 500 companies have cut their recovery time by up to 10x using these features.

5. Smarts.

A modern data management platform should support various analytics and visualization tools—SQL, machine learning, and NLP—to extract valuable insights. It should also include AI capabilities, which not all vendors provide, to accelerate insight generation.
