With digital transformation accelerating across every industry, one fact remains: your data is under attack—from inside and out.

Yet most organizations are missing key red flags.

So we asked: What are the real barriers keeping enterprises from securing their data end-to-end?

Here’s a sneak p

eek into the 7 challenges—and the surprising ways leading enterprises are solving them.

Challenge #1: Shadow IT Is Everywhere—And It’s Costly

Employees using unauthorized apps and cloud tools without IT approval?

It’s more common than you think—and one of the biggest blind spots in cybersecurity today.

So what’s the fix?

→ Hint: It starts with EDR, CASB, and a new way of thinking about user behavior analytics.

Challenge #2: Cloud Misconfigurations Are the New Zero-Day

Even top-tier companies misconfigure their cloud infrastructure—often without knowing.

Just one exposed bucket or permissive access role can lead to disaster.

But don’t panic—smart security posture management can close those gaps.

Challenge #3: You Can't Protect What You Don’t Classify

From confidential documents to customer PII, if your organization doesn’t know what is sensitive, how can you secure it?

That’s where automated classification and AI-powered data discovery come in.
