Steve Armstrong, Regional Director EMEA at Bitglass:
“The number one responsibility of all organisations should be to defend their data. When migrating to the cloud, enterprises can easily make themselves susceptible to a number of security threats that, if not properly addressed, can expose data on a massive scale. Visibility and control are critical for securing sensitive information in the cloud. Fortunately, cloud access security brokers (CASBs) allow organizations to enforce real-time access control, encrypt sensitive data at rest in the cloud, control the sharing of data with external parties, prevent the leakage of personal information, and more. Shifting to a proactive approach to security will demonstrate that the protection of customer data is being taken seriously. In addition, it could save company’s brand reputation.”
