The explosion of emerging data can be described as a byproduct of our world's rapid digitisation, especially after COVID. From the surge in remote work to the proliferation of real time collaboration tools to the rise of social media as a business platform, these digital trends have created an extraordinary deluge of data.
Organisations today are facing enormous data volumes, which is increasingly disrupting the stability of legal and regulatory compliance.
Unstructured Data That Refuses to Comply
Emerging data is largely unstructured in nature, and changes across different platforms. It refuses to fit neatly into traditional data policies and frameworks.
As more data sources emerge, and an organisation’s traditional security perimeter starts fading, the surface area for potential data breaches expands. It’s like being in a high stakes game of digital Jenga; one wrong move could cause the organisation’s tight structure to collapse.
