The Perils of Today’s Approach on Access Governance: Start Protecting Data at Source

It is not that IGA is obsolete. But, specifically for data with high risk, it is just not sufficient. Data-centric security complements IGA. It protects what needs to be protected – the document, the data. IGA tries to work indirectly by prohibiting access, but data-centric security sits directly on the file. It is not that data-centric security is new. Technologies are out for years. Even though data-centric security has been out there for years, it is now that we observe a significant uptake, and it is time for businesses to act on this and extend their security beyond IGA to data-centric security.

Nowadays, many of the challenges of data-centric security are solved. Technologies are straightforward to implement and far simple to use, specifically when policy management is done pragmatically. However, data-centric security impacts the users and thus needs to be well-planned, with the education of users and clear reasons for when, why, and how to use it.

In this KuppingerCole webinar, we will look at exactly these aspects:

• Why, when, and how to use data-centric security.
• Access Governance redefined: The need for a broader scope, beyond static entitlements on systems and applications
• The role of data-centric security in future IAM and Access Governance
• The potential of data-centric security: Why is it the ultimate security?
• Risk-based approaches for data-centric security: Balancing security and convenience
• Doing data-centric security right: Pragmatic approaches on policies

In the first part of the webinar, Martin Kuppinger, co-founder of KuppingerCole, will talk about re-scoping Access Governance and the role of data-centric security in future IAM and Access Governance. He will also look at regulations that drive the need for data-centric security.

In the second part of the webinar, Vishal Gupta, Founder and CEO of Seclore, will compare data-centric security to other technologies and talk about how to do data-centric security right. He specifically will look at the human factors and approaches for efficient policy management.
