Generating actionable insights requires the ability to correlate data from any source and in any format, including images, video and audio.
Fortunately, tools like our Voltage SecureData technology can encrypt data in use without hindering analytics. We leverage a format-preserving encryption standard, recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, to encrypt data even when it is in use so that if the data is breached, it is unusable to bad actors.
In addition, agencies must understand where data resides in order to protect it.
However, duplicate data is often stored in redundant troves by various business areas. Agencies could better protect this data and reduce risks by discovering and removing duplicate copies and centralizing a data protection scheme.
Treating data like a strategic asset requires an enterprisewide approach and advanced information management and governance techniques. But agencies have
tremendous potential to save money while creating a more secure yet flexible IT environment. In addition, they can make significant progress on the cross-agency priority goal for workforce improvement by allowing federal employees to focus on strategic activities.
