Data Protection

Data is the most important asset in cybersecurity. Understanding what type of data an organization has, how it flows and the lifecycle of how it is stored, transferred, and managed is crucial to reducing the unwanted loss, disclosure, or corruption of your data.

Your data is your currency.

Cybersecurity comes down to protecting our users and our valuable assets, which in most cases means protecting information.  The first challenge is to know exactly what sensitive data we have, where all of it is at any given time, as well as how it is stored, accessed and transmitted. We need to understand the lifecycle of data to meaningfully understand the risks and thus form a strategy to govern and secure it.

 

Protecting sensitive and valuable information from intentional exfiltration or corruption as well as unintentional mishandling that may lead to a breach can be a monumental task, especially today when we need to consider how to do this across every network, cloud, endpoint email and user. Knowing is half the battle, but then we will still need to design the right solutions to harden repositories against attack and to implement additional controls to prevent and detect unauthorized access or misuse. When data is transmitted, we also need to know that it's done securely via encrypted channels.

How Heighten can help

It's clear that Data Protection is not something that can be accomplished by implementing standalone controls. Heighten understands that protecting our sensitive data requires a comprehensive strategy across networks, systems, protocols, and policies. We protect data by knowing what data exists, knowing how it must be used, understanding the inherent risks involved, and how best to mitigate them. Of course, we also protect data with the help of the best tools and technologies and the knowledge of how to maximize their effectiveness. 

At Heighten, we have learned through experience how to implement best practice solutions to protect your data; but we don't stop at best practices when mere compliance does not necessarily anticipate the less generalized risks that may be specific to your organization. Our expertise lies in understanding your data assets and establishing a view that spans your networks, systems, services, business cases, and communications in order to advise you on a comprehensive plan and implement the controls that will serve and protect you best.

 

We have partnered with leading technology partners who help us to secure every aspect of your data lifecycle from discovery and classification to access management and data loss protection, encryptions, and beyond.
