As enterprise data is constantly under attack through ransomware attacks, cyber threats or employee misguidedness, organizational data can easily be exposed and put at risk. Encryption and access control are the keys to securing data and achieving cyber resiliency, but most storage systems throughout the infrastructure treat security as an afterthought, which reduces flexibility and increases complexity. This live webinar will address the three primary reasons, below, for why storage security is failing and offer solutions for how to fix it.
1. Encryption is bolted on after the fact; requires a separate process, slowing down provisioning
2. Each storage use case has its own security solution
3. Lack of access controls and real-time reporting
