Cyber Defense eMagazine January Edition for 2022

In 2022, it is going to become crucial that organizations use solutions that provide visibility, context,
accountability and alert data protection teams to data leaks in order to halt adversaries in their tracks.
The solution should be able to continuously and automatically discover and classify data for complete
visibility, secure and control said data to improve data risk posture, and detect data leaks and remediate
them without interrupting data flow. These simple approaches can go a long way in preventing
devastating breaches in 2022 and beyond.”
Oran Avraham, co-founder & CTO, Laminar
“In 2022, data is going to be the most valuable currency around the world. As a result, the data breach
culture we have seen emerge over the past few years is going to continue to permeate if we do not take
a moment to reflect on the causes of attacks in the last year.
It is imperative to understand where these attacks are originating from in order to discontinue the cycle
of data abuse. If one were to examine some of today’s biggest data breaches, a pattern will immediately
emerge — the majority by far originated from public cloud infrastructure.
So what should organizations be looking for to protect public cloud environments? First, the solutions
must be cloud-native. Second, data protection teams are almost blind when it comes to data residing in
the cloud. Therefore, the solution must start by integrating with the public cloud itself in a modern,
agentless way. It must be able to identify where and which types of data reside there. This way
organizations can focus on protecting what matters most. Finally, the solution must not impact
performance.
It is my hope that organizations will take a moment to reflect on the importance of public cloud data
protection in order to change the data breach narrative in 2022 and beyond.”
