Data is essentially inert and passive, lacking an inherent ability to either control its own fate or mitigate risks while at rest, in transit and under process. 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 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.
