HOBOKEN, N.J., June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and data governance expert, urges business leaders to consider data governance and cybersecurity together in a new article. The informative article first defines data governance and cybersecurity as overlapping circles.
The author then explains how the cybersecurity landscape has evolved from perimeter security to account for the data explosion, data privacy, remote work, and increased cyber-threats.
"Cyber criminals know well the value of data and its power to make or break an organization," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. "Consequently, organizations must link data governance and cybersecurity to stay ahead of the game
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Link Data Governance and Cybersecurity to Protect Valuable Data Assets."
Data Governance and Cybersecurity Defined
"Data governance involves an organization knowing what data it owns, where that data lives and who owns and uses it. It also encompasses the processes of ensuring the integrity and availability of data, as well as its classification."
"Cybersecurity, on the other hand, refers to protecting networks and data from unauthorized access and criminal use. It involves a combination of technology, people and processes working together to prevent and mitigate cyber-attacks."
Cybersecurity Landscape Has Evolved
"Not so very long ago, security experts spoke in terms of castle and moat security. Also known as perimeter security, this strategy involved using multiple defense layers to fortify the perimeter surrounding the data network. Firewalls, honeypots and other intrusion prevention devices guarded the various points of access into the system."
Essential Role of Data Governance in Effective Cybersecurity
"In this evolving data landscape, data governance plays a critical role in implementing security strategy. To protect sensitive data and comply with complex regulations, organizations must first know where the data resides and who controls it. Proper organization of data both reduces the risk of data breach and aids in forensics when security incidents do occur."
