Episode 04: Data Breach & Misuse Mitigation | Data-Centric Security & Encryption

In Episode 04 of the Modernise Without Compromise series, CCA Software's Margaret Dine and OpenText's Adam Butler examine why breaches keep happening despite heavy security investment, and how data-centric security, encryption, tokenisation and format-preserving encryption (FPE) reduce the impact when the perimeter fails. The perimeter still matters, but it is porous: attackers are increasingly logging in with valid credentials rather than forcing their way in. This episode works through what changes when protection moves from the network to the data itself, so that stolen information has the same format but no usable value. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT WE COVER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Why breaches keep happening despite security investment 1:18 The perimeter is great, but porous 3:15 Attackers are logging in, not breaking in 4:12 Production data in unprotected lower environments 5:45 Assume breach: making stolen data useless 6:40 The regulatory and reputational cost of a breach 7:50 What changes when protection moves to the data 8:18 Security that travels with the data 9:04 Unlocking mainframe data with CCA replication 9:25 Classify and encrypt before data leaves the platform 10:16 They stole the data, but it was useless 11:37 Secure by design, not bolted on 13:01 No front page news: the Senate estimates test 14:23 Discovery, classification and PII masking 15:27 Keys to the kingdom: tokens and keys stay with you 17:37 Format-preserving encryption: 20 years of Voltage heritage 18:57 Three installs: connector, replication and encryption 19:44 Closing thoughts ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY TAKEAWAYS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Breaches continue despite perimeter investment because attackers log in with valid credentials Data-centric security protects the data itself, wherever it travels Format-preserving encryption keeps data the same shape but worthless to an attacker Tokenisation and masking give developers realistic data without exposing real PII CCA replication plus OpenText encryption is a pre-integrated, three-install solution ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TALK TO A CONSULTANT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Ready to reduce your own breach exposure?
