The Key Pillars for Protecting Sensitive Data in Any Organization
With today's proliferation of data, evolving global and regional privacy regulations, growth of cloud adoption, and advanced persistent threats, data-centric security enables organizations to be in control of their data regardless of location while rendering it unreadable to data thieves.
But, to be effective, this protection must happen automatically without relying on user intervention.
This whitepaper from Thales outlines the challenges of data security and provides strategies to discover and classify your critical data and apply data-centric security to it.

What is data-centric security?
Data-centric security focuses on protecting the data itself rather than just the networks or applications it interacts with. This approach is crucial for modern organizations because data is often stored in various locations, including the cloud, making traditional perimeter defenses insufficient. By implementing data-centric security, organizations can ensure that their sensitive data remains secure and unreadable to unauthorized users, regardless of where it is stored or accessed.
What are the key pillars of protecting sensitive data?
The three core pillars for protecting sensitive data are: 1) Discover and classify sensitive data to understand its risks and location; 2) Protect sensitive data using encryption, access controls, and tokenization to render it unreadable if compromised; and 3) Control encryption keys through centralized key management to ensure that cryptographic keys are secure and managed by the organization.
How can Thales assist with data security?
Thales offers the CipherTrust Data Security Platform, which provides comprehensive tools for data discovery, classification, protection, and key management. This platform enables organizations to simplify their data security processes, accelerate compliance with regulations, and reduce total cost of ownership by integrating various security functions into a single solution. By leveraging Thales' expertise, organizations can better manage their sensitive data and enhance their overall security posture.
