Businesses worldwide unknowingly attract cybercriminals. The reason for this is the so-called “dark data”, i.e. information whose content and business value are unknown. That’s according to a recent survey by Veritas Technologies, a global leader in enterprise data protection and software-defined storage. As part of the Value of Data study, Vanson Bourne interviewed 1,500 IT decision-makers and data managers from 15 countries, including 100 from Germany, on behalf of Veritas. The survey shows that, on average, more than half (52 percent) of all data is unclassified or tagged. This means that German companies have no transparency whatsoever about large amounts of potentially business-critical data – and are therefore an easy target for hackers.
Transparency over unstructured data with the DataGovernance Suite
We show how an “information-centric” approach based on big data and data mining concepts automatically generates a business view of unstructured data and how all important questions regarding content, business relevance, lifecycle, authorizations and data protection can be answered in seconds. In a short demo, we will show you how easily data owners can search, understand, classify, protect, clean up, and delete large amounts of data and efficiently and independently implement regulations such as GDPR.
