Your Sensitive Data is at Risk: How Do You Manage Insider Threats?

Picture it. Your employees access sensitive and confidential customer information every day so they can do their jobs. Once the data leaves the protected confines of an information repository, file share or cloud-based service, your authorized users can share it with anyone, do anything with it and compromise your customer’s confidential information or your intellectual property. As a result, you may be subject to regulatory fines, not to mention losing customers because they can’t...

To think about stronger data security and privacy protection! But first, I want you to think about the millions of heroes who have served our country. As we approach the 4th of July, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the heroes in the many branches of the U.S. Military. From myself, and on behalf of the entire team at Fasoo, THANK YOU for your service! And while thinking about those who have...

I have to say, being on the other side of the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit was a combination of exciting, fun, and educational. The cool thing is that I still got to get up on stage and the bonus was to see all the hard work that goes into exhibiting. I think the Fasoo team did a fantastic job setting up and manning the booth. At our booth at the Summit, we...

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 likely the wrong individual and shared with someone who should definitely not have been...

I sure hope so! Well, the one year anniversary of GDPR is upon us and the challenge of effective, easily managed data security and regulatory compliance is palpable. So, what did Fasoo do? 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 challenge of the evolving, complex compliance regulations like GDPR and CCPA across verticals ranging...

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. Here’s a sampling: Why do so many data loss prevention projects either stall or de-scope? Why with significant industry expenditures in the space do we continue to experience record-breaking instances of data breaches and exfiltration? What are the latest methodologies and technologies security and privacy executives should consider implementing...

So, in my last post, I mentioned a series of webinars and thought this would be a good opportunity to provide a little preview into some of the topics we’re planning on discussing. Unstructured data, of course! But what about it? I’ll be discussing the challenges… kind of a “What I heard from you as a Gartner data security analyst” in a “How to navigate through the maze of methodologies, governance and technologies” sort...

Me! After over 20 years with leading IT consultancy, Gartner, I am excited to announce that I have recently joined data security vendor Fasoo. At Gartner, my focus on enterprise data security and compliance challenges, products and technologies led me to really understand the significance of the “Wild Wild West” nature of unstructured data. On average, I advised 30 CISOs and CIOs and other security professionals every month on the challenges they face with...

Data discovery and classification is an important first step to protect your confidential data and comply with privacy regulations. You need to identify the location of your data and its value to your organization before determining how to protect it. Done right, this leads to a data-centric security and compliance program that is critical to your corporate brand and competitive advantage. Unfortunately many discovery and classification projects stall or fail because solutions try to...

The financial services industry is a frequent target of hackers, but a larger threat may be trusted insiders since they have access to a lot of sensitive customer data. Advisers within wealth management practices regularly share data with other advisers, staff members, a counterparty or a trusted third-party service provider. They may inadvertently or deliberately share that data with unauthorized people and pose a risk to their firms and customers. Once shared, most firms...
