A look at the growth of sensitive data in enterprise environments
Inaugural report
State of Data Compliance & Security Report
What’s in this report from Perforce and Delphix:
This inaugural report by Perforce and Delphix delivers research on the challenges of protecting sensitive data in non-production or lower environments, such as development, testing, analytics and artificial intelligence/machine learning.
The report also reveals that the challenge of protecting sensitive data will only get more complex with the rise of AI. Nearly 90% of enterprises report concerns about regulatory non-compliance in AI environments. Even more troubling, 68% of organizations surveyed perceive a lack of solutions to tackle data privacy in AI environments.
“AI is transforming industries, and data is at the heart of AI,” said Rod Cope, chief technology officer of Perforce Software, which acquired Delphix earlier this year. “When it comes to AI and data, it can be a double-edged sword. There’s a lot of excitement around the innovation possible in AI, but data in AI environments must be protected. The findings … underline the importance of complying with data privacy regulations in AI environments, too.”
Overall, 91% of organizations are concerned about the expanded exposure footprint across all lower environments (including software development, testing and data analytics), but 86% of organizations allow data compliance exceptions in non-production. As a result, 54% of organizations have already experienced a data breach or theft involving sensitive data in non-production environments.
