Understanding DSPM: A Data-First Security Shift

Understanding DSPM: A Data-First Security Shift

Businesses now manage massive, scattered data across cloud environments, devices, and applications, creating blind spots and increased data leak risks. A data-first security approach, like data security posture management (DSPM), is becoming more critical. DSPM solutions can allow CISOs and IT leaders to effectively protect sensitive data across complex cloud environments.

Fifty petabytes (PB) of data can be generated by large healthcare institutions each year. However, this data becomes useless because 97% of it is unused. Eventually, this data becomes outdated–resulting in high storage costs for no ROI. Data minimization helps remove unnecessary data that is being hoarded if it is useful in the future. Chief Data Officers (CDOs) and IT leaders at healthcare institutions should apply data minimization as a data management strategy to lower data storage costs, reduce risk from data breaches, and ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
