Since Gartner introduced the term 'Data Security Posture Management' (DSPM) in its 2022 Hype Cycle for Data Security report, the imperative to continuously discover, assess, and manage an organization's data security posture has taken center stage. Why? Because organizations are now storing data in diverse locations, including on-premises, in the cloud, and in hybrid environments, all while facing an escalating threat of cyberattacks and the growing need to meet data privacy regulations. Prioritizing DSPM is no longer a choice, it's a necessity. In this context, Data X-Ray is empowering healthcare, financial enterprises, and government agencies to delve into their unstructured data and elevate their data security posture.

Even with over 111 data protection regulations and standards such as EU GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA, the news of companies being victimised by cyber-attacks comes almost daily. In this ‘data breach’ era, the best way for companies to prepare themselves is to become increasingly shrewd in terms of protecting their data and reputation.

A Panacea for Organizational Data Challenges

When managing private and sensitive data, dealing with unstructured data can be challenging. For the most part, this is because of the sheer amount of it a company can generate.

Unstructured Data: What It Is and Why It’s So Important Today

Earlier this week I was on a call with the Head of Data at one of the world’s largest financial institutions when he mentioned the “known knowns” quote by Donald Rumsfeld. However, he specifically attached this to discovering and classifying unstructured data at scale.

Known Unknowns: Discover and Classify Unstructured Data at Scale

Around 80% of a company’s data is unstructured dark data. Although to date much focus has been on structured data because it is easier to get a grasp of, unstructured data proliferates with the daily activities of staff, from the important aspects of how deals get done to the more mundane scheduling of after work drinks.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Dark Data | Ohalo

Many companies are looking to modernise and migrate their on-premise data to the Cloud. Often it’s shifting legacy applications, looking to take advantage of new database types and cloud-based data platforms, bolstering cybersecurity, and driving analytics and insights.

Recently Ohalo has been helping a number of built environment clients, such as construction firms, in making their safety data more useful, driving better safety outcomes and wider efficiencies. Kyle DuPont, our CEO, shares some reflections on this work.

A few thoughts on the increasing popularity of wearable tracking technologies that a number of organisations are now using in their pandemic response to measure and halt transmission.

You don’t ever really think about it, but each time an accident happens at work, that gets recorded. In aggregate, there is so much that we can learn from these records. From ladder falls to much larger incidents, cross-referencing how accidents and fatalities occur is key to mitigating future tragedies.

Cambridge Analytica’s parent company ended up in court this week for failing to adhere to an ICO enforcement notice.

That the ICO had to resort to criminal prosecution at all sheds valuable light on the broad contempt for data privacy that persists in large sections of the economy and the continuing enforcement challenges that the regulator faces.

Redundancy is Needed when Building Safe Smart Contracts

With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) coming into effect on May 25th, many of our customers have been asking us what they should be doing with data stored in cloud services that can store any kind of data, like Google Drive and Box. It’s hard to know whether employees are unknowingly creating files with sensitive personal data and whether that data is being managed properly.

Using Cloud Services like Google Drive and Box and How you Should be Thinking about GDPR

You asked for it, so we delivered. Ohalo now supports General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) personal data risk screening/scanning of all Google Drive accounts simultaneously across your organization.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is coming into force, for the first time establishing a regime involving large fines if your organization is not handling personal information properly.

Your First Step to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

From May 2018, any SaaS provider managing personal data of European citizens will be jointly liable for GDPR requirements. Even if a the company is not in Europe, any SaaS provider with European personal or corporate clients is at risk for up to 4% of global annual revenue or EUR 20 million.

Cloud SaaS Provider Liability under GDPR

It is almost trite to say that data is important in building corporate value today. The most valuable companies in the world by market capitalization, the so-called GAFAs (Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon), are those that have massive amounts of data.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance and the Opportunity to Know your Data

Today, every time a customer wants to access a new financial service, sometimes even within the same company, they need to physically produce the same set of documentation and answer many of the same questions.

Data Sharing for Financial Services

People spend their lives in a digital world. They expect ever better services brought to them when and where they want them. As a result, most successful startup companies find their competitive niche as essentially data companies that use the data they collect to develop and refine products and services that make their customers’ goals easier and more convenient to meet.

Sharing Distributed Data in the Digital World

I recently read a couple of excellent blogs/papers on what how the banking industry might evolve. One of them, a blog on “Why Fintech Banks Will Rule The World” by Philippe Gelis, was written some time ago, in early 2015, whilst the other was a great thought piece on “Modular Financial Services” by Oliver Wyman from early this year.

Can Banks Own the Customer Experience in a Financial Market Place

This post is for people that are creating distributed applications as well as business-oriented folks that want to know more about where this technology actually is today.
