Report Says Digital Transformation Era is Putting Organizations’ Sensitive Data at Risk
A new report says that as organizations embrace new technologies, such as multi-cloud deployments, they are struggling to implement proper data security.
The 2019 Thales Data Threat Reportnotes that 97 percent of the survey respondents reported their organization was already underway with some level of digital transformation and, with that, confirmed they are using and exposing sensitive data within these environments. Aggressive digital transformers are most at risk for data breaches, but alarmingly, the study finds that less than a third of respondents (only 30%) are using encryption within these environments. The study also found a few key areas where encryption adoption and usage are above average: IoT (42%), Containers (47%) and Big Data (45%).
