Control Data-centric Environment Segmentation

Data-Centric Environment Segmentation with DataGuard

Efficient Segmentation for Enhanced Data Security

Introduction

DataGuard’s data-centric environment segmentation feature is tailored to organise and secure your organisation's data more efficiently. By segmenting the data environment based on sensitivity levels, user roles, and compliance requirements, DataGuard ensures that access is appropriately controlled and data security is maximised.

DataGuard's Key Features for Environment Segmentation

Automated Data Classification: DataGuard automatically classifies data into various sensitivity levels. This classification is essential for segmenting the data environment effectively, ensuring that each data type is managed and protected according to its level of sensitivity.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Implementing strict access controls is made easier with DataGuard’s RBAC system. It ensures that employees have access only to the data necessary for their roles, an essential aspect of environment segmentation.

Policy-Based Data Handling and Access: DataGuard enables the creation and enforcement of policies that dictate how different data types should be handled and accessed. This feature is critical for maintaining the integrity of segmented environments.

Integration with Existing Systems: DataGuard seamlessly integrates with your existing IT infrastructure, ensuring that data environment segmentation does not disrupt existing workflows.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alerts: Continuous monitoring of how data is accessed and used across different segments of your environment is a key feature of DataGuard. It alerts you to any deviations or unauthorized access attempts in real time.

Data Asset Ownership Assignment: Assigning specific data owners for each data segment or type with DataGuard ensures that there is clear responsibility and accountability for the security and compliance of each data segment.

Customisable Security Controls: DataGuard provides the flexibility to customize security controls for different segments of your data environment, allowing for a tailored approach that fits your organisation's specific needs and risk profile.

Incident Management for Segmented Data: In case of a security incident within a particular data segment, DataGuard's incident management dashboard provides a comprehensive overview and facilitates efficient resolution.

Conclusion

By utilising DataGuard for data-centric environment segmentation, your organisation can achieve a more structured and secure approach to data management. This segmentation not only enhances data security but also streamlines compliance and operational efficiency, ensuring that data is accessible yet protected according to its classification and relevance.
