The best data security strategies go beyond identifying these issues; they enforce access policies,
automate corrective actions, and integrate with existing identity and access management systems to help
maintain a strong security posture, even with changing business needs.

Data security tools should have access control measures that can help establish role-based access
controls (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC) policies, ensuring the right users have the
right data at the right time.

3. Update Your Data

Data security is not static. Effective solutions shouldn’t just use real-time monitoring to detect risks and
threats; they should anticipate them. Visibility into suspicious activities, with real-time alerts, and
automated responses can enable security teams to act swiftly, ensuring businesses stay resilient and
adaptive to emerging threats.

Scalability Starts with Continuous Data Security

As organizations grow and adopt new technologies, their data environments grow more complex.
Securing data shouldn’t be just a checkbox or a one-time effort — instead, it’s an ongoing commitment.
Organizations that use modern data security solutions to understand, control, and monitor their data
continuously are set to fulfill Sir Walter Raleigh’s prophecy — only this time, in 2025, navigating the sea
of data.

About the Author

Yoav Regev is CEO and Co-Founder of Sentra. He has over two decades of
experience in the world of cybersecurity, cloud, big data, and machine learning. He
was the Head of Cyber Department (Colonel) in the Israeli Military Intelligence (Unit
8200) for nearly 25 years. Reflecting on this experience, it was clear to him that
sensitive data had become the most important asset in the world. In the private
sector, enterprises that were leveraging data to generate new insights, develop new
products, and provide better experiences, were separating themselves from the
competition. As data becomes more valuable, it becomes a bigger target, and as
the amount of sensitive data grows, so does the importance of finding the most
effective way to secure it. That’s why he co-founded Sentra, together with accomplished co-founders, Asaf
Kochan, Ron Reiter, and Yair Cohen. Yoav can be reached online at our company website www.sentra.io
