Understand the Growth and Risks Associated with Unstructured Data

The growth of unstructured data is putting serious pressure on security teams, but most lack the tools to see what’s actually happening. Our white paper, “Securing the Blind Spot: Unstructured Data Risk and Thales File Activity Monitoring,” explores why traditional DLP tools fall short and how to gain visibility without slowing your business down.

Unstructured data is the digital content that is scattered across file shares, cloud storage, collaboration platforms, and legacy systems. Most security teams can’t track how unstructured data is accessed, shared, or misused. This lack of visibility opens the door to insider threats, compliance violations, and costly data breaches. Traditional tools like DLP or SIEMs weren’t built to monitor unstructured data across dynamic environments.

 

  • 80% of enterprise data is unstructured and it's growing by 60% annually.

  • 76% of breaches involve unstructured data and cost an average of 28% more when only unstructured data is involved.

  • 50% of all security teams lack visibility into how unstructured data is accessed, moved, or misused, leaving large amounts of data vulnerable.
