How to Evaluate Data Security Software
Data security software protects companies’ most important information from unauthorized access, breaches and cyberattacks. Designed to prevent internal and external threats, these software tools also assist in complying with regulations and reduce the chance of human error–the main reason behind many data breaches. They achieve this by using processes such as encryption, masking as well as sensitive data detection and backups.
A tool for cyber defense such as ESET for instance, provides multi-layered security against malware threats, while also ensuring GDPR compliance with features such as endpoint monitoring. A data loss prevention solution such as Code42 allows security, IT, and compliance professionals to store user data to the cloud or on-prem to facilitate recovery and regulatory compliance. It also safeguards users against threats from insiders and automates threat detection, monitoring the file activity across all devices, as well as managing access to sensitive information.
HashiCorp Vault is another leading security software that provides dynamic management of secrets to minimize the risks that come with static credentials. It also detects and prioritizes vulnerabilities, allowing organizations to quickly identify and fix exposures. A vulnerability assessment tool such as IBM Security Guardium Insights, however, conducts a thorough examination of your entire infrastructure for data by identifying and categorizing vulnerabilities.
As you evaluate your options, make sure to consider the product’s scaling as well as integrations, usability and training resources. Choose a vendor with the right pricing plan to fit your budget. For instance, certain solutions provide subscription-based plans, while others charge a flat cost depending on the number of users or devices protected.
