KuppingerCole named IBM Security Guardium as an overall leader in their Leadership Compass on Data Security Platforms. IBM was ranked as a leader in all three major categories: Product, Innovation, and Market. With this in mind, let’s examine how KuppingerCole measures today’s solutions and why it’s important for you to have a data security platform that you trust.
The Transformation of the Data Security Industry
As digital transformation continues to expand, the impact it has had on enterprises is very apparent when it comes to data security. It is becoming extremely challenging to securely store, process, exchange, and protect sensitive data.
In order to protect sensitive data, organizations should look to implement a data security platform that will help them automate their data security efforts and simplify compliance. KuppingerCole realized the importance of data security platforms within the market, which is why they adjusted their original focus from big data and databases to data security platforms. Database security is still a relevant section of information security that prioritizes protecting databases and structured data but is no longer the focal point as the market evolves.
