The explosion in data volume means security can no longer focus only on device and system security. A data-first mindset, which shifts protection to the data itself, must be implemented. Data security posture management (DSPM) identifies and classifies sensitive data across cloud environments, assesses risks, and helps remediate vulnerabilities to prevent unauthorized exposure. CISOs and IT leaders can consider DSPM to gain visibility, reduce risk, and strengthen data protection in …
