As the new technologies evolve and//in the online-first world we migrate our lives to the web, the legislation appears to protect the individuals’ privacy, as they share personal sensitive data on the Internet. Obviously, it’s great, but it implies profound changes in the IT infrastructure of every organization dealing with personally identifiable information (or PII). Let’s take this challenge and find out what pitfalls you may face trying to meet GDPR demands.

Perimeter-based networks protected by a firewall are familiar to anyone because they were so common. But the key word is “were”, because they are outdated now. They function assuming that machines and users within a perimeter are reliable – but it actually never was the case and least of all it applies to modern reality when Bring your own device (BOYD) and Bring your own cloud (BYOC) trends are in place, and cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated than ever before. The previous generation of networks cannot accommodate modern workstyles and cannot perform their main role of protecting data, as when the cyber-criminals compromise even one end-point within a perimeter, they can laterally move there to extract sensitive business data.
The key to success for the business is working smarter instead of working harder. The idea of cloud technologies which can make your work a lot easier is very tempting. That sounds great to the business folks until the IT guys come along and say there’s a whole bunch of work should be done to get there.

At this point, it suddenly seems that it is better to keep to traditional on-premises servers, install them yourself and manage them yourself. But it is a misconception as investing into aging infrastructure can actually do more harm in the long run. To break this vicious circle and reduce the cost of cloud transition FastTrack came to life.

But you have to take the rough with the smooth and spend a lot of time to make all the necessary configurations and settings before you can actually enjoy your new device. Well, not anymore – forget about the old way of deploying machines. It was costly and time-consuming – you had to build a custom image, gather drivers etc., to deploy an operating system to a machine that was shipped with an operating system already installed by hardware vendor.
In day-to-day life of a company compliance is a necessary evil. According to research, there are more than 200 updates from 750 regulatory bodies every day – a huge burden for the employees to stay up-to-date with all these changes. Even when compliance and privacy officers know the legal guidelines and internal policies well enough, they don’t know which technology solutions can help them to meet the conditions. On the other hand, IT professionals know about the technology and how to use features like Data Loss Prevention and e-Discovery, but they don’t know how to go about with managing these features and compliance regulations.
