Data is essentially inert and passive, lacking an inherent ability to either control its own fate or mitigate risks while under process, as well as at rest and in transit. Data loss and theft is a result of the problem.The safety of the data is wholly dependent on human behavior and infrastructure. In reality, the enterprise protects data indirectly through a static perimeter. Endpoints are managed, and trust assumed. This approach is not data-centric and has reached obsolescence.This workshop will survey the domain of the state actors and ensuing vulnerabilities to our infrastructure and corporations. It will highlight a paradigm that imbues data with self-governance, provenance and protection capabilities, to make it the new perimeter and a source to rethink deployments, workflows, and responsibilities. Use Cases will also be discussed.
