"It used to be that data, when we were looking at it through our IT systems, was very structured. We understood what it was, we understood where it was located, and we understood who had access to it, because it was a fairly limited amount of access points into that data," Didier Guibal, executive vice president of global sales at security firm Websense told IBTimes UK today.
