5 Steps to Secure Cloud Data Governance

Today’s business environment is flooded with data. From critical product development intellectual property to sensitive customer PII to logistics and sales information, data is coming at us from all directions. And that data is moving through the business in ways that it never could before. In the past, your customer and prospect data may have stayed securely behind a firewall in a company-owned datacenter. But from the moment Salesforce introduced the Software-as-a-Service CRM, that data has been moving into the cloud. And much more has followed.

Now, cloud data platforms like Snowflake or Amazon Redshift offer anyone the ability to host and analyze data on the cloud with just a credit card and a spreadsheet. This has opened a pandora’s box of data analysis possibilities that comes with the attendant risks. Luckily, the very technologies that make it easier than ever to extract value from data also allow for improved and simpler avenues to execute secure cloud data governance.

The goal is to get the most from their data by building a secure cloud data ecosystem that allows users to safely share and analyze sensitive data. A scalable cloud platform uniquely delivers secure cloud data governance and seamlessly integrates with a wide variety of enterprise tools used to ingest, transform, store, govern, secure, and analyze data can help. Taking these five steps will set you on the path to secure cloud data governance and data-driven leadership.
