A Guide to Smarter Data Security: Lessons from the Ants and Grasshoppers

by   in Cybersecurity

“Data is king!” and “Data is everything” are expressions that have been used time and time again to describe the importance of data as we have become a data-centric world. According to the latest estimates, 328.77 million terabytes of data are created each day (Source: Exploding Topics). This new reality has unleashed an unmanageable amount of new data security challenges for organizations worldwide. Unfortunately, there are no signs of these challenges becoming easier to handle anytime soon, especially as we implement AI into our everyday processes.

The push towards smarter data security is crucial. Not only do we need the best solutions for protecting what matters most, our high-value data, but organizations also need to get a better understanding of what kind of data they have, where it lives, and who has access to it. Finding a solution that can help you tackle one of these challenges is great, but what if there was a solution that helped you gain control of your data security throughout your data’s lifecycle, improved your data security posture management and much more…

A tale as old as time: the Ants and the Grasshopper

Growing up, I constantly read famous fables that teach us valuable life lessons – some darker than others. However, the Ants and the Grasshopper fable always stood out to me as one of the stories that teaches us how planning and working in a group can help us when facing tough times, winter in this case. There is a time for work and a time for play, but we must balance both and plan ahead. This life lesson applies to every facet of our lives, personally and professionally.

You may think, ants, grasshoppers, and cybersecurity, how can these possibly be related? Well, at OpenText Voltage, we used the famous fable of the Ants and the Grasshopper to explain why every organization needs the right data security platform to tackle an unavoidable data breach or, in this case the furies of winter! Watch our newest animated video that explores the lessons from the Ants and the Grasshoppers of Cyberland below:
