Zero Trust Data Security Solutions

Key Points

  • Data security is a moving target that requires organizations to know their data assets, understand compliance mandates, and adopt proactive threat remediation, often guided by Zero Trust frameworks.
  • Privacy, data security, and governance are intertwined, with robust data‑governance processes serving as the foundation for effective privacy protection and security enforcement.
  • IBM envisions a more open, interconnected security ecosystem where solutions can communicate, enabling orchestration and coordinated response to threats.
  • IBM Security’s data‑centric controls and separation‑of‑duties principles aim to unify compliance, privacy, risk, application, infrastructure, and operations teams for collaborative, prioritized remediation of data security incidents.

0:00Data security is everybody's business.  There are a number of security solutions 0:05out there. There are a number of security  products driving these security solutions. 0:10And certainly, the security  teams are always inundated with 0:13too many alerts, too many products,  and too many solutions to keep up with. 0:23Data security is a constantly evolving and  a moving target. So when we talk about the 0:31challenges of data security, it's all about having  an understanding of what data an organization has, 0:37understand what are some of the compliance  mandates the organization needs to comply with. 0:43And more importantly, be able to get to a  more proactive state where organizations are 0:48managing and remediating security threats as they  arise. And that's really where Zero Trust light 0:55frameworks come into picture. Zero Trust ensures  that you are verifying everything and not really 1:02banking on trusting anything without verification. Privacy and data security and governance are 1:09interrelated. They are two phases  of the same coin in the sense that 1:14privacy is something that you could drive with  having a robust data governance process and having 1:20a very solid framework to enforce data governance  from a security point of view. And that's really 1:27where data security solutions come in to play. IBM believes the current state of data security 1:33can be improved. We believe the market from here  goes towards more of an open and interconnected 1:40space where security solutions could talk to  each other and essentially enable security 1:46orchestration and response in a more congenial and  more homogenous way. And IBM Security solutions 1:54are built using some of the security first  principles like separation of duties, being 2:00able to deliver data-centric security controls  and ultimately drive all this in a way that is 2:07enabling security teams to manage data security  threats and prioritize actions and remediation. 2:14What that provides is the ability  for organizations to have their teams 2:19across the board from compliance to privacy,  from risk management to applications, 2:25infrastructure to operations, all come together  to address business challenges and particularly 2:31data security threats and events in a more  collaborative way. My name is Rajesh Venkatasubbu, 2:37product manager at IBM Security, and responsible  for data security and guardian data protection.
