Protect Your Enterprise Data with IBM Optim Data Privacy Solution
Most organizations today are trying hard to balance between communicating and collaborating with partners, customers etc., and protecting sensitive or confidential data. Data protection is no longer a matter of strategic choice. It is a regulatory requirement, and every organization has to take definite measures to safeguard data. While on one side regulatory requirements make data privacy and protection mandatory, on the other a growing number of cyber-crimes, organized hacking attacks, and data breach incidents make safeguarding data an absolute necessity today.
However, protecting data or safeguarding the privacy of sensitive data is not as easy as it may sound. Often, organizations adopt complex and expensive means to protect data only to find that they are ineffective and have drastically failed in their purpose. Moreover, with stringent rules and strict legal action governing data protection, negligence of best practices surrounding data privacy is a huge risk. So what organizations need today is a cost-effective, efficient, and comprehensive data privacy solution that can safeguard data stored in multiple systems and databases across the enterprise.
Organizations need to adopt a policy-driven masking approach that can proactively protect data, ensure its privacy, and support even the most complex compliance needs concerning data privacy and protection.
