The following emerging global commercial opportunities involving data security solutions are covered in this report, including the listing of several viable commercial entities providing solutions on the market today:
- Cloud data security posture management (CDSPM) supports enterprise cybersecurity by continuously monitoring and managing the security posture of data across cloud environments. It helps identify and remediate risks of data storage, access, and compliance with industry regulations, thus reducing the likelihood of data breaches and ensuring that cloud data remains secure.
- Data access governance (DAG) involves setting policies and controls over who can access data within an organization. By managing permissions and tracking access to sensitive data, Data Access Governance ensures that only authorized individuals have the ability to view or modify data, thereby reducing the risk of insider threats and unauthorized data exposure.
- Data discovery and classification support cybersecurity by identifying where sensitive data resides across the enterprise and classifying it according to its level of sensitivity. This is crucial for applying appropriate security measures, complying with data protection regulations, and quickly responding to potential data breaches.
- Data leakage protection (DLP) tools are designed to prevent unauthorized transfer of data outside the corporate network. They monitor and control endpoint activities, filter data streams on corporate networks, and secure data in motion and at rest, thereby protecting against both intentional and unintentional data leaks that could lead to a security incident.
- Data privacy platforms support cybersecurity by ensuring that an organization's data handling practices comply with privacy laws and standards. It helps manage consent, data subject rights, and data retention policies, which reduces the risk of data misuse and the consequent legal and financial repercussions.
