September 26, 2017 What Is Data Discovery and Why Should I Use It? The brain is an amazing organ. It weighs about 3 \u00bd pounds and consists of two hemispheres, 100 billion neurons, and 100 trillion synapses the command and control center for each of us. The brain controls autonomous functions like heartbeats and brainwaves, but it also allows us to learn through its unequaled capacity for identifying and analyzing patterns. Intelligence is essentially the ability to store patterns in our memory. Recognizing and analyzing patterns makes us uniquely human. That is, until computers can do it better. When IBM developed machines to recognize and analyze chessboard patterns, the machines could learn to defeat grandmasters. Today, IBMs Watson is starting to diagnose diseases Google and Tesla vehicles are learning to drive autonomously. This is all possible through data discovery. At its core, data discovery is the process of extracting actionable patterns from data. It starts with aggregated data, identifies outliers, and results in extracted data to be leveraged in specific circumstances. Data discovery helps you develop real world solutions based on specific data provided by established patterns. That Doesnt Sound Too Hard And, it isnt  if you have the right tool. The problem is the sheer amount of data. Estimates predict daily data generation at 2.5 billion gigabytes per day, and 90 of the worlds collective data has been produced in just the last two years. In a 2016 study , Veritas found that of the information stored and processed globally, 52 is dark no one really knows what it holds and another 33 is redundant, obsolete or trivial ROT and useless. More telling is the fact that employees spend up to 30 of their workday 2.5 hours searching for useful data. Can any company tame the chaos of information overload? Is there a way to locate all files and to evaluate each ones importanceif anyto the business?

    "content": "To effectively manage data security and protection, consider the following organized approach, which integrates practical guidelines with strategic implementation:\n\n### Data Security and Protection Strategy\n\n1. **Data Classification and Management**\n   - **Categorization:** Begin by classifying data based on sensitivity. Use tools like FileFacets to automate this process, reducing manual effort and potential errors.\n   - **Data Minimization:** Implement policies to collect only necessary data and retain it only as required. Ensure legal compliance by consulting with legal experts for data retention policies.\n\n2. **Access Control and Authentication**\n   - **Role-Based Access:** Restrict data access to authorized personnel based on job roles to prevent unauthorized use.\n   - **Multi-Factor Authentication:** Enhance security by requiring MFA for all data accesses.\n\n3. **Encryption Practices**\n   - **Data Encryption:** Use encryption for data at rest and in transit. Employ HTTPS and VPNs for data in transit and encryption tools for stored data.\n\n4. **Regular Audits and Monitoring**\n   - **Periodic Reviews:** Conduct quarterly audits to review access logs and data handling practices. Use tools to monitor access patterns and flag anomalies.\n   - **Dark Data Management:** Regularly review logs to identify and classify unknown data, using alerts for unusual patterns.\n\n5. **Employee Education and Training**\n   - **Workshops and Modules:** Provide regular training on data security, including phishing awareness, password management, and safe data handling practices.\n\n6. **Incident Response and Preparedness**\n   - **Incident Plan:** Develop a comprehensive response plan, including containment, assessment, notification, and prevention steps. Conduct regular drills to test effectiveness.\n\n7. **Secure Data Disposal**\n   - **Physical and Digital Methods:** Use secure disposal methods like shredding or wiping for physical devices and ensure digital data is fully deleted.\n\n8. **Risk Prevention**\n   - **Phishing Mitigation:** Implement email filters and educate employees to prevent phishing attacks.\n   - **Insider Threats:** Use strict access controls and regular audits to mitigate risks.\n   - **Ransomware Defense:** Regularly back up data and keep systems updated with security patches.\n\n9. **Privacy Protection and Compliance**\n   - **Data Anonymization:** Anonymize data where possible and ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA.\n   - **Privacy Policies:** Establish clear policies and obtain user consent for data collection.\n\n10. **Leverage Tools and Expertise**\n    - **Technology Integration:** Use tools like FileFacets for data discovery, classification, and ROT identification.\n    - **Consult Experts:** Engage security consultants for complex issues and legal experts for compliance advice.\n\n### Implementation Steps\n\n1. **Foundational Practices:** Start with data classification and access control.\n2. **Encryption and Training:** Implement encryption and conduct employee training.\n3. **Audits and Monitoring:** Establish regular audits and monitoring for dark data.\n4. **Incident Response:** Develop and test incident response plans.\n5. **Secure Disposal:** Ensure proper disposal methods are in place.\n\nBy systematically applying these strategies, organizations can enhance data security, protect privacy, and maintain compliance, leveraging tools and expertise for effective management.",
