Digitisation and new delivery models change the way enterprises consume and organise data. Digitisation lets you store and process more and more information, and take full advantage of its potential. It means that users expect information to be always available, at any time, anywhere, on any device. Distributed services store and process information at various locations and enterprises are at risk of losing an overview and control over sensitive data.

Organisations need new information security concepts to protect users and information as the existing ones are already obsolete. Network firewalls are not relevant today as information is no longer stored inside the corporate network, and IT doesn’t know which cloud services their employees are using. It is critical that companies establish new user-friendly policies and working methods to secure their data and protect against information loss.

Technology and information security should be viewed as a whole, as two sides of the same thing. Consequences of insufficient security are far greater today than in the past. Digitisation increases business exposure and requires new awareness in relation to risk, data processing and classification of information. New regulatory requirements ensure companies have a conscious relationship with information security throughout the service lifecycle – from design to management.
