In today’s digital world, stockpiling data has become an unrelenting requirement across virtually every industry. While there are numerous reasons to do so, a primary driver is the invaluable insights it offers to business leaders, helping them to make smarter, faster data-driven decisions.
Today, the majority of this stockpiled data is unstructured. In fact, unstructured data accounts for up to 90% of today’s enterprise data information assets and is quickly growing at the rate of 55% to 65% per year. Accordingly, security experts warn that because unstructured data exists in many different forms and levels of sensitivity, it poses significant risks to your organization’s data security and compliance.
