Data security - Boring idea but,data have become a new form and flow of currency. How much have we adapted to this idea?

Customer data, market data, intellectual property, resource consumption data, productivity data, and dozens of other categories are a new form and flow of currency in the data-driven enterprise. However, as data flow has achieved parity with cash flow, the CISO or the CSO has not achieved parity with the CFO.

• Rather than using application names or table or column names, group data at the lowest level into buckets like "high-sensitivity personally identifiable information" or "customer payment information."
• 
  
• Too often companies focus on the relationship between users and application access. This is important, but it doesn't take into account which applications have access to what data, and therefore ignores the direct relationship between users and data
• 
  
• Through new technologies like blockchain, data flows can be recorded directly as they happen, making the resulting audit trail immutable and virtually impossible for the record to be manipulated.
