Data is your company’s most valuable asset. You have all of your crown jewels sitting in these large piles of data. No one knows what’s in them, or who has access to it. How do you protect it?
DryvIQ’s CEO Sean Nathaniel was recently invited to be a guest on Hackerverse TV, a cybersecurity podcast hosted by the team at Kikrr. Sean and podcast hosts Craig Ellrod and Mariana Padilla discuss why managing and protecting unstructured data – the elephant in the room – has been a nearly impossible challenge to solve until now.
Ninety percent of all enterprise data is unstructured, according to research from IDC, and that data is continuing to grow by 50 percent, year over year. Learn about the three undeniable truths when it comes to unstructured data in this podcast, and why the time to classify, manage, and protect this trove of information has arrived:
- In the digital economy, data is an organization’s most valuable asset.
- Hackers and bad actors will always exist – they’re just getting smarter and more creative.
- Humans will always be the weak link in any security strategy. This is why in 2022, the most common attack vectors were phishing and stolen or compromised user credentials, contributing to 40% of reported data breaches.
