Jennifer Zaino has written an article based on my presentation at last year’s Enterprise Data World on Data Discovery and Classification. In this session I talk about data catalogs, data reverse engineering, classification, and the responsibilities I believe data professionals have in ensuring their data is properly used and protected.
“Team Data — data architects in particular, whatever their official title may be — have a job to do. That is to take more aggressive steps to protect data assets on behalf of customers and constituents.
The responsibility falls to data architects because few in most organizations are thinking about protecting data from the data point of view, so to speak. The lawyers and the security group think about it from the standpoint of data breaches, applications, SQL injections, and so on.
This article also has a video of my talk. Let me know what you think.
