Where compliance and data protection overlap

This white paper examines the opportunity that arises from the “common ground” between compliance and data protection and multiple compliance mandates. It also explains how at the center of this overlap is the need for better visibility into the changes and events occurring the entire IT infrastructure, intelligence to discern what activity constitutes a threat, and automation to reduce labour-intensive, error-prone tasks. These needs must be met if CISOs are to protect the sensitive data that compliance and information security initiatives seek to safeguard.
