SAS and Thales: Securing Analytics and Data Management in the Enterprise - Solution Brief

Data warehouses are powerful by nature of their ability to consolidate data and its relationships in order to serve it up to advanced analytics and management tools. SAS, as the market leader in the space, offers both warehouse and analytics technology that lets organizations innovate in their spaces. For enterprises, these tools allow them to make better decisions, derive maximum value from their data, and ultimately achieve faster outcomes for their business. However, there is risk associated with this consolidation. Having sensitive data – whether that is personally identifiable information or sensitive intellectual property – located in one place makes a highly attractive target for hackers. Complicating the conversation are the layers of industry or region specific regulations governing how this data should be collected, used and ultimately secured. Any organization that wants to adopt these valuable technologies will need to address the twin obstacles of security and compliance before they can fully realize the value of their SAS strategies.
