The recent proliferation of Data Privacy Compliance requirements from the EU, US, and China has made Data Privacy a top concern for organizations as they look to not only comply with regulations but to also manage the reputational and cybersecurity related risks. One trend has stood out through all of this–there is no way to disentangle data security and data privacy.

The same risks that are being addressed in regulations like GDPR are also related to the core components of Data Security, namely knowing where your sensitive data is, controlling who has access to it, and ensuring that there are tightly monitored controls and reporting around every step. As CISOs and CDOs begin working together more on winning the joint challenge of achieving robust Enterprise Data Privacy and Data Security, organizations more than ever now need to have integrated solutions between their Security, Governance, and Privacy products.

In this presentation, we will discuss how integrating a data management and a data protection solution provides unified access control across multiple data sources in a hybrid cloud environment. We will demonstrate how this integration is implemented using IBM Data and AI’s Watson Knowledge Catalog and IBM Security’s Guardium Data Protection tools.
