IBM Optim Solutions for Data Privacy and Security
Data is undoubtedly one of the most valuable assets for an organization. And like any other asset, efficiently managing and leveraging data is crucial to the success of a business. However, digitization and consequently growing volumes of data have made data management a highly challenging affair. And in addition to this, global mandates concerning data privacy and security make things increasingly complex. While organizations have a growing need to manage data, they also have the necessity to protect data and ensure compliance with various laws governing data privacy and security.
Several incidents of cyber attack and data breach have been reported in the recent past, and with more and more companies moving to digital data, these threats are only bound to increase. While organizations need solutions to seamlessly manage data, they also need solutions to protect all forms of data being generated every day. But adopting multiple solutions for data management, data protection and privacy can turn out to be ineffective and highly expensive.
