Summary

We designed this report to help security and risk (S&R) leaders develop their road map of data security technologies using Forrester's TechRadar methodology. As data volumes explode, it is becoming a Herculean task to protect sensitive data from cybercriminals and malicious actors while preventing privacy infringements and abuses — intentional and unintentional. Every day, vendors introduce a new product or service that claims to be the silver bullet to data security challenges. To avoid the hype and take a holistic and long-lasting approach to data security that encompasses people, processes, and technology, we developed Forrester's Data Security And Control Framework. This TechRadar assesses 20 of the key traditional and emerging data security technologies that S&R leaders and their staff can use to underpin the best practices and recommendations of our framework.
