OVERVIEW
● The New Normal has shifted from the office setup to the remote work scenario resulting in more emphasis on datacentric security.
● In 2020, enterprises had to ride a wave of IT architecture changes to transition to a remote work landscape.
● As moving employees to their home offices was sudden and unexpected, migration to the cloud had to be rushed to keep business operations running
● Meeting solutions, cloud servers, and security integrations became the need of the hour in a short time.
MOVING DATA TO TREND 1:
At Seclore, we have seen many of our customers move to the cloud.
According to a survey conducted by Barracuda, 53% of respondents said that the COVID-19 crisis had made them accelerate plans to move all their data to a 100% cloudbased model.
Although the cloud vendors provide advanced threat detection mechanisms, enterprises are responsible for securing their sensitive data in the cloud. THE CLOUD
In a report by Netwrix, only 8% of organizations say they can spot unauthorized data-sharing incidents in minutes.
Hence, the concern for data storage and leaks is deep among most enterprises.
TREND 2:
DATA EXPLOSION
The growing use of SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS in the last couple of years, has caused traditional perimeter security to become obsolete.
The key is to protect sensitive data at its source, no matter where it is stored.
“Traditional security approaches primarily aim to fortify the network perimeter and are predicated on the fact that there is a defined boundary within which the data will stay. Rather than only securing the network or at the source repository, it is critical that the data itself be protected via encryption, tokenization, etc.”
- Dr. Anhad Singh, Global Technical Leader from PKWARE Global
Factors that have led to more emphasis on speed of deployment:
IN TREND 3:
• Looming fear of data breaches
AUTOMATION
• Compliance mandates
DEPLOYMENT
• Changing threat vectors
The long deployment cycles for security solutions increased the risk of bad actors stealing sensitive data.
It is increasingly crucial for security solution providers to focus on a time-to-value approach by applying modern automated deployment techniques and require little or no IT administration.
BRING YOUR OWN TREND 4:
In this new normal, organizations have allowed their remote workforce the flexibility to use their mobile devices and personal laptops to manage day-to-day work.
In doing so, organizations allow employees to stretch the network to non-company-issued devices that the security administrator cannot govern.
With MDM integrations like Seclore for Intune, only authorized users can access, edit, and reply to confidential information even when shared with internal users, partners, and service providers outside your enterprise network. DEVICE (BYOD)
Microsoft Intune, MobileIron, and other MDMs designed to apply protection policies to your applications and devices can help manage corporate data shared across devices.

IDENTITY TREND 5:
While organizations are battling “how” their sensitive data is handled as it gets shared internally, externally, and stored on the cloud, managing “who” is accessing this information is also essential.
Identity and access management (IAM) systems help incorporate two-factor authentication and policy-based access controls to the existing data sources.
However, enterprises need an IAM solution that integrates with their current environment and is easy to set up with minimal overhead. MANAGEMENT
CONCLUSION
● With Rights Management and Identity Management combined, organizations can control which users/groups can access the data and what privileges (read, edit, share, etc.) the user can access when they access sensitive information.
● As predicted by the experts, the New Normal of a remote working model is here to stay. While this model may undergo a few changes with time, the need for more robust data-centric security is permanent, and these trends will only help fine-tune the strategies.

SECLORE ABOUT
● Seclore Rights Management integrates seamlessly with your existing Identity Management & Single Sign On (SSO) infrastructure to streamline user authentication and achieve single-click access. Identities can be sourced from any Identity and Access Management (IAM) system, or a combination of different IAM systems and SSO servers. Separate authentication mechanisms for internal and external users are also supported.
