Cyber Training Canada

There is a new challenge facing organizations globally. For years the mantra has been to focus on capturing any, and all, data from users, prospects, employees, and so on. If it could be gathered, it was stored – often in unstructured/disorganized tables. This has led to a ballooning of databases with dirty, often unusable, data.

Data for ‘data’s sake’ is slowing being replaced with strategic, directed, capture techniques that are tied to specific products or goals for the organization. Roles in data science continue to increase in complexity and have given rise to the CDO – Chief Data Officer. Their focus is wide reaching covering business, technology and even security.

How then do organizations manage and secure these environments both for compliant use as well as protecting from the ever-evolving threat landscape? Generally it is a combination of regulatory compliance, overall data strategy and cyber security controls. These table legs form the foundation of a solid data strategy.
