Trending Now
Data management shift from “ugly stepchild” to “pillar of operations” especially in financial organizations
Majority of IT organizations are understaffed in the number of people they have on hand to manage data governance, while the number of sensitive documents and the requests to access that information appear to be increasing exponentially.
Majority of IT organizations are overwhelmed when it comes to managing requests for access, depend too much on manual systems to manage the process, and don’t really know who in the organization should have access to what type of information."
A huge percentage of employees have access to information they don’t need for their roles in the company, thus introducing unnecessary risks in terms of how that data can either be accidentally or purposely compromised
