Protecting sensitive data requires a robust approach, with Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) at the forefront. DSPM aligns security policies with data architecture, while DLP prevents unauthorised access and leaks.

Understanding data classification and custodianship is key to this, as it ensures that sensitive data is prioritised. Integrating AI further strengthens these strategies, offering real-time threat detection and automated protection.

In this episode, Chris Steffen VP of Research at EMA speaks to Shannon Murphy, Global Security & Risk Strategist at Trend Micro, to discuss data security management. 

Key Takeaways:

• Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is essential for visibility.
• Data classification is crucial for effective data security.
• AI can enhance data discovery and classification processes.
• Data custodianship should involve those who understand the data.
• Continuous monitoring is necessary for effective data protection.
• A layered defense approach is necessary against emerging threats.
• Data security is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix.
