Data Security Posture Management
A Data-Centric Approach to Security
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is a continuous process of assessing, monitoring, and improving the security posture of an organization’s data. It involves identifying and classifying sensitive data, assessing the risks associated with each type of data, implementing appropriate security controls to protect the data, and continuously monitoring the security posture and making improvements as needed.
