Organizations are rapidly moving to the cloud, leveraging infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform as-a-service (PaaS), and Database as-a-service as new ways to optimize their business, even though these environments present new risks to sensitive data.

Data security solutions must be able to operate across multiple environments (physical, cloud and hybrid).

Read this ebook to learn more about how to secure sensitive data across a variety of environments, and how the IBM Data Security portfolio can help.

This Leadership Compass from analyst firm KuppingerCole provides an overview of the market for database and big data security solutions along with guidance and recommendations for finding the sensitive data protection products that best meet client’s requirements.

Is your data security practice all that it should be? This ebook looks at five of the most prevalent and avoidable data security missteps organizations are making today, and how these "common pitfalls" can result in potentially disastrous attacks.

As firms face a growing list of data protection regulations and customers become more knowledgeable about their privacy rights, developing a data privacy competence has never been more important. Sustained compliance delivers a number of benefits, but firms with reactive and siloed privacy tactics will fail to capitalize on them.

Forrester Consulting evaluates the state of enterprises’ data privacy compliance in a shifting regulatory landscape by surveying global enterprise decision makers with responsibility over privacy or data protection. This report analyzes how they are evolving to meet the heightened data protection and privacy expectations of legislators and consumers, along with the benefits they can expect from a holistic data privacy approach.

This white paper highlights how organizations can adopt a next generation data security strategy that bridges security technologies deployed across heterogeneous and highly distributed environments. Organizations are lacking a centralized view of their data security risk posture, compounded by the complexity of managing security across distributed environments. This lack of visibility results in an ineffective way of prioritizing alerts and assessing the business impact of lost or stolen data assets. Taking a holistic approach affords organizations a comprehensive view of existing security risks to sensitive data.
