Data Security Implications for New Enterprise Architectures

by Beth Cohen

Data integrity and confidentiality have long relied on a combination of network- and application-based security. As enterprise architecture (EA) becomes more complex, data is progressively more integrated within massive data warehouses and distributed architectures. In addition, sensitive business data is increasingly being moved out to the cloud with little or no thought given to the security implications. In this Executive Report by Beth Cohen, we explore the many security issues that must be addressed before companies can safely move to a more distributed EA model.
