The best of both worlds:
balancing data security and data-driven insights

As we have touched on several times in this paper, the growing volumes of data generated on a daily basis potentially offer numerous opportunities for enhancing efficiency and service quality when properly collated, managed, and analysed. So, how can firms access their data if they wish to leverage it for data analysis and processing? The SaaS model offers some benefits in terms of management overhead but can hamper the ability to maximise the value of data, which means a new approach is required.

Fortunately, the growing sophistication of cyber security and disaster recovery systems, combined with the growing drive for true data-driven decision-making means it is quite possible to maintain the highest standard of cyber-resilience while still enjoying the full range of insights on offer.

For example, here are several solutions that have already proven effective for the firms Exponential-e works with:

Data immutability

Immutability has become a term open to significantly varied interpretations, ranging from a software ‘lock’ through to fully segregated and tamperproof standalone copies of data, i.e. the immutable backups we touched on earlier. We provide solutions that deploy highly secure, physically segregated cyber vaults in which immutable copies of critical digital assets are protected with no direct access from production networks, ensuring that no matter how widespread a ransomware attack may be, it cannot compromise critical digital assets.

Rapid recovery

Getting up and running as quickly as possible in the event of a successful attack is essential if firms are to avoid serious financial and reputational damage. Clean room solutions enable core systems to be swiftly recovered in public or private Cloud environments, and seamlessly combine with our cyber vaults to maximise recovery efficiency and ensure the greatest chance of successful insurance policy claims.

End-to-end secure transit

We work with firms to ensure access to data is secure, no matter where it is. The tools utilised in this regard range from Secure Access Secure Edge (SASE) and zero-trust designs encompassing people, processes, and technology, through to locking down all access to stateless Citrix virtual desktops.
