June 2022 Summaries

The rapid adoption of multi-cloud environments by companies worldwide is driven by the need to secure enterprise data while making it accessible to authorized parties. By 2022, 70% of companies are expected to embrace multi-cloud or hybrid technologies and tools. However, managing data security in a multi-cloud environment has become challenging due to high volumes of enterprise data stored across multiple clouds. A new approach is needed for centralizing visibility and authorization control. Five critical areas of data security worth considering include data discovery, access controls, least privileged access, data governance, and cloud entitlement reviews. Veza provides a robust and comprehensive data security platform built on the power of authorization to help organizations secure their enterprise data across multi-cloud environments while keeping it accessible to authorized parties.

The Price Waterhouse Cooper's 2022 Pulse Survey reveals that digital transformation is the top growth driver for C-suite executives, with companies accelerating their shift to cloud platforms. However, maintaining data security and integrity during this process presents a significant challenge. Cloud migration typically involves four stages: platform infrastructure transformation, application migration, transition to cloud compute, and finally, moving data using solutions like Snowflake. Ensuring data protection in the cloud requires different strategies than on-premises resources, as traditional data security solutions cannot be simply "lifted and shifted." The growing necessity for a data-centric approach is driven by the increasing value of data to modern enterprises. Cybercriminals target valuable data, making it crucial for organizations to safeguard their assets while enabling authorized access. Veza's data-centric security solution provides comprehensive visibility into identity-to-data relationships and offers actionable intelligence to manage permissions effectively, reducing the risk of successful data breaches.
