Zero-Trust Data Management Is the Future – How You Can Get Ready Today
In an age of escalating cyber threats, the security approaches of old are no longer adequate to safeguard sensitive data. Traditional strategies have always depended on perimeter-based defenses, believing that dangers originated outside and that – once inside – everything was trustworthy. This strategy, however, is now obsolete due to the inception of perimeter-less work environments […]
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM): A Technical Explainer
Data is growing on a massive scale – it spreads across geographies, systems, networks, SaaS applications, and multi-cloud. Similarly, data security breaches are following suit and increasing in number (and sophistication) every year. Organizations must modernize their approach to cybersecurity and start giving equal attention to data and infrastructure. Here, data security posture management (DSPM) comes into the […]
Navigating the Risks of LLM AI Tools for Data Governance

Why Traditional Threat Prevention Is Insufficient for Insider Threats
Security teams can be so focused on blocking cyberattacks from external actors that they forget the potential threats within their organizations. Verizon reports that insider threats cause almost 20% of all breaches. Insider threats are difficult to defend against using traditional threat prevention measures because insiders inherently require elevated trust and access to get their jobs done. […]
