The biggest data security blind spot: Authorization

2023-04-20 05:00

While it's important to give employees access to the data they require to do their job, granting too much access increases the risk of data breaches.

To mitigate these risks, companies need to make sure authorization is a core element of their data security strategies.

With such high stakes, why aren't companies doing more to ensure that authorization is part of their data security strategies?

Complex data infrastructure: Many companies have complicated data infrastructures with numerous databases, data warehouses, and data lakes.

Inefficient processes: Large organizations with multiple data sources have an inherently hard time managing data access and applying controls.

There are a few different approaches, but a just-in-time data access approach best balances data sharing while minimizing risks.
