The phrase “It takes a Village to raise a child” is true. But it is also true that it takes a team to develop a data governance and policy management strategy!

Geese at the ISMG Cybersecurity Summit in New York? It’s all about teamwork!
Last week, Fasoo sponsored and participated in the ISMG Cybersecurity Summit in New York City. It was a great event, well attended and in the Theater District and the ISMG folks were awesome to work with!

Getting Granular: Why You Need Granular Access Controls
In my last post, I said “Without granular access controls, you can’t prevent a user from copying data from a file and pasting it into an email, for example.

Another day, another… $853K?
This has been on my mind. A lot. Every day, I open my email to find news about how a company needs to pay a fine or a fee to either an individual or a regulator because data was leaked or stolen. This one in particular caught my eye because it is a classic example of data being accessed by …
Still Thinking About Regulatory Compliance?

We developed Data Radar (well, it has been around for a long time now) to deliver a unified unstructured data security and privacy approach that addresses the …
Ok, the results are in!
Thanks to all of you who responded to my last blog post regarding unstructured data security and privacy topics you’d like to hear more about.
