Making Data Protection an Organizational Priority

In an era when data needs to be recognized as an asset in order to transform as a business, retrieving value from data becomes the topmost priority. As fiercely as organizations are investing in innovating new tools and techniques to get the best possible “data deal,” are they considering the risks of grabbing hold of diverse, complex and sensitive data? Should the safety of data that transforms a business not be on the priority list? 

Firstly, the perception about data protection has to change. Now that data is no longer seen as a by-product of business, the description of protection also needs to extend beyond building a defense against probable attacks. Otherwise, the data that is considered an asset can soon become a liability.
