THE STATE OF DATA SECURITY AND PROTECTION IN THE ENTERPRISE

With distributed work and digital transformation initiatives constantly
evolving, the question of data protection has never been more central to
ensuring enterprise success.

The meteoric shift in the need for tools that can support a dispersed workforce
has had a significant impact on the way enterprises prioritize and strategize.
While data protection has always been non-negotiable, it has experienced a
resurgence as the adoption of hybrid workforces appear to be accelerating
advancements by months, or even years. Now, enterprise leaders and system admins
alike are faced with a challenge – is our data security strategy keeping pace
with an increasingly globalized workforce?


DATA PROTECTION IN A DISTRIBUTED WORKPLACE

SECURITY IN A REMOTE WORLD

By Jacob Shepard In Enterprise

One of the primary challenges of managing a distributed workforce is data
governance, or safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) for
customers and teams as systems and processes were performed entirely online.

There was suddenly the need for novel data processing activities at global scale
and corresponding measures that needed to be put in place to ensure that
applications adhered to a certain standard of security. The biggest challenge
came in how quickly this all unfurled; privacy impact assessments and data
protection impact assessments needed to be carried out under significant time
pressure. On top of all this, organizations lacked guidance and clarification on
how to interpret existing legislation in the crisis environment, and the Schrems
II ruling made the waters even murkier. All of a sudden, it became very
difficult to comply with GDPR if any data at all was being transferred outside
of confines of the EU. And unprecedented levels of remote work made the Schrems
II implications all that more complex. What was clear is that more industries
adopting distributed workspaces sparked foundational changes to the way
enterprises approach their data protection strategy and processes.

The most notable area of impact pertaining to enterprise software and Atlassian
products is device management – due to many newly minted remote employees would
be working from their personal devices, as well as a renewed focus on mobile
device/mobile app security.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SCHREMS II

The Schrems II ruling was decided on by the Court of Justice of the European
Union (CJEU) in which they declared that the EU-US personal data transfer
framework, Privacy Shield, was no longer lawful. The ruling had an obvious
impact on EU-US personal data transfers, and organizations who previously
leveraged this mechanism now have to find alternative data transfer measures.


COMBATTING CYBER ATTACKS WITH ENTERPRISE USER PROVISIONING

Cyber attacks evolve just as quickly as the measures designed to prevent them,
and the surge of distributed employees created even more opportunities to take
advantage of new vulnerabilities. Inherently, mobility became a need for a
globally dispersed workplace and caused the network perimeter held by enterprise
organizations to expand significantly. Roughly 83% of organizations across the
world experienced phishing attacks against their remote workforce in 2021, a 46%
increase over 2020. method to consistently combat this at enterprise scale is
thorough attention to validating the devices being used to access the network—
user provisioning.

User provisioning not only reduces the manual work involved with granting
employees application access when they join the company or move to a new team,
but automated deprovisioning reduces the risk of information breaches by
removing access for those that leave the company (or a given team). And since
user accounts are automatically removed when people leave the company or a
group, costs are more tightly controlled.

HOW USER PROVISIONING WORKS

When a new employee joins the company, perhaps the engineering team, the IT
admin typically needs to give this new employee access to at least 10 different
apps that engineers typically use to do their jobs. With user provisioning set
up, the admin just needs to add the employee to the engineering group once, and
all the apps they need will be automatically provisioned for that user. If the
engineer leaves the company, the admin just needs to make one change in their
user directory, and access is revoked.  

If an employee switches teams – say, from engineering to product – they might
need access to a slightly different toolset. All the admin needs to do is make
one change in their user directory group settings, and access is revoked to the
tools they no longer need and granted to the new ones.

This ultimately allows admins to have maximum visibility across all endpoints
that are being used to interact with sensitive data, and makes it much easier at
enterprise scale to ensure that data is being protected.


UPPING THE ANTE ON MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT

ATLASSIAN MOBILE APPS ARE ENTERPRISE READY WITH MDM

By Matthew Ho In Platform

As mentioned before, mobile device and mobile app security have been equal
beneficiaries of enterprise focus when it comes to data security and protection.
We see this in three areas:

 1. Increased risk of data leaks: The significant rise in flexible
    work-from-home arrangements and use of bring-your-own-device (BYOD), has led
    to an increase in access points for end-users and subsequently higher risk
    of data leaks or unauthorized access. Corporate compliance: With enterprises
    increasingly moving to SaaS applications, there are typically predefined
    corporate policies for securely delivering these apps to employees over
    mobile devices. Support for mobile device management (MDM) and mobile app
    management (MAM) are often key requirements for meeting these corporate
    policies.
 2. Organizational control: Enterprise admins often have to manage thousands of
    mobile devices and need efficient ways to enforce security controls across
    them.

Enterprise organizations need their software to provide MDM and MAM capabilities
to enable admins to push predefined security configuration to mobile apps on
company managed devices through the given MDM device application. Security
controls should include things such as data export restriction, screenshot
disabling, clipboard management, device encryption, and compromised device
detection (to name a few). With more enterprise organizations reaping the
benefits of a distributed workforce, mobile device controls like these are the
table stakes.


WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS?

Just like the policies designed to protect data, the security capabilities your
enterprise software provides should be evolving to accommodate for these needs.
Data protection is an area that Atlassian has invested heavily in — both in our
cloud and self-managed offerings — to ensure the trust and peace of mind that
our customers have come to expect from us. Click below to learn more about what
we’re doing specifically to address these challenges.
