Data-centric security vs. siloed approach

Sensitive data flows between applications, the network layer, databases, file systems, and data center storage systems. Although the data is secured at each of these levels, there are inevitable security gaps between the different layers, as data moves around the infrastructure.

A project manager for the organization’s CISO office explains the issue: “Although within the layers all data was encrypted, we still worried about data breach and data leakage risks through security gaps that hadn’t necessarily been identified or anticipated. Our layered approach was also expensive, as each layer needed its own security solution requiring its own expertise, making resourcing complex. With an enterprise-wide move away from an outsourced infrastructure and towards the cloud, we needed the peace of mind of comprehensive data security that enables us to move data between different environments without the risk of exposing sensitive data while also being able to scale efficiently. We felt that transforming our security model to a data-centric approach would solve these issues without impacting performance or customer experience.”
