It Takes a Village to Raise a Child, Right? It Takes a Team to Develop a Data Governance Strategy!

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! Teamwork is important when developing a data security strategy. As part of that process, data governance and policy management needs to be part of the equation. It’s becoming more and more clear that organizations struggle with policy management – particularly with unstructured data....

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! As part of our sponsorship, Fasoo had a 10 minute Tech Spotlight where, rather than providing a “death by powerpoint” tech dump, we thought it would be good to get everyone thinking about working together as a team...

In our last post, we 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. If you only encrypt a file and do not prevent copy and paste or printing, a user can easily compromise security.” And we meant it. Now, you might be asking yourself “What does it mean… granular access controls?” And the answer is simple. Granular permissions...

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...

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...
