Defining data governance and data classification

So, what is data governance and how does it relate to cyber resilience?

Existing under the broad umbrella of data management, data governance is a program — implemented via policies and standards — intended to ensure the availability, quality, and security of an organization’s data in accordance with applicable regulations and obligations (e.g., adhering to industry standards, fulfilling requirements for certifications, etc.).

Within data governance, data classification is the process of separating and organizing data into relevant groups (“classes”) based on their shared characteristics, such as the level of sensitivity, risks they present, and the compliance regulations that protect them.

Data governance underpins cyber resilience plans

An intelligent data governance program delivers several beneficial outcomes for organizations:

  • It helps to ensure the availability, quality, and security of an organization’s data, making it a foundational pillar of business continuity.
  • Data governance helps improve overall data accuracy and impacts outcomes based on that data — which can range from comparatively simple day-to-day business decisions and operations to more complex, forward-looking initiatives including AI-focused programs.
  • It helps to support organizational efforts to comply with regulations and other obligations, making it a cornerstone of compliance.
  • An effective data governance program also permeates the entire organization, increasing data literacy, data accessibility, and data scalability.

Do you know where your data is?

Of course, disaster recovery planning cannot start without a clear understanding and mapping of your data and its significance to your business. What data is crucial for us to continue running our operations? Who needs access to which data to do their job? Where do we store all of this critical data?

Knowing the answers to these questions will start your journey towards ensuring continuity in cases of data loss or cyberattacks. This is achieved through an efficient and effective data governance framework.

I hope that, with our new report in hand, CISOs and CIOs will be able to future-proof their modern, data-driven enterprises through effective data governance.

Hidden Risks in Your Network: IoT Peripherals and DNS Layer Blind Spots

This article explores the often-overlooked vulnerabilities that exist within modern corporate networks, particularly concerning unmanaged IoT devices and gaps in DNS security. It highlights how these blind spots can be exploited by attackers, leading to data breaches and other security incidents.

The Threat from IoT Peripherals

Many organizations focus their security efforts on traditional devices like laptops and servers, while ignoring the growing number of IoT peripherals connected to their networks. These devices, which can range from smart printers to video conferencing equipment, often have weak default security settings and are not regularly patched. They can serve as an easy entry point for attackers to gain a foothold in the network and launch further attacks.

The DNS Layer Blind Spot

The DNS (Domain Name System) layer is a critical part of a network’s infrastructure, yet it is frequently a blind spot for security. Many security tools, including next-generation firewalls, are not designed to inspect DNS traffic, allowing attackers to use it for data exfiltration, command-and-control communications, and other malicious activities. This stealthy method of attack can bypass even the most advanced security defenses.

Closing the Gaps

To address these hidden risks, the article recommends a multi-layered security strategy that includes:

  • Comprehensive Visibility: Gaining full visibility into all devices on the network, including IoT peripherals, is the first step.
  • DNS Security: Implementing a dedicated DNS security solution that can inspect and filter DNS traffic to block malicious queries and prevent data theft.
  • Zero Trust Architecture: Adopting a zero trust model where every device and user is verified before being granted access to network resources.
  • Employee Training: Educating employees about the risks associated with unmanaged devices and phishing attacks that exploit DNS vulnerabilities.

By proactively addressing these vulnerabilities, organizations can significantly strengthen their overall security posture and protect themselves from sophisticated, hard-to-detect threats.
