IDC Features Anonos in its Spotlight Report on Accelerating Data Control for Economic Value
NEW YORK CITY and BERLIN – September 27, 2023 – The International Data Corporation (IDC), a global provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology market, has dedicated its latest Spotlight report to Anonos, data privacy and security innovator, for its leadership in performant privacy-based data controls.
Authored by Stewart Bond, Vice President of Data Intelligence and Integration Software at IDC, the report emphasizes the importance of intelligent enterprises and underscores the key role of performant privacy-based controls in leveraging data in these entities. Findings from the report suggest that by focusing on privacy mitigated economic value, enterprises can achieve a 3-4x improvement in their intelligence capabilities.
The foundation of enterprise intelligence is data, and a common thread that runs through enterprise intelligence capabilities is effective, timely use and sharing of data”, says Stewart Bond.
However, while blending internal and external data offers monetization benefits, evolving privacy regulations often prevent enterprises from fully exploiting their data's potential.
Traditional data control methods, such as encryption, tokenization, and masking, are becoming outdated in modern data environments as they protect data at rest and in transit, but not while data is being processed.
Performant privacy-based controls, which maintain the original data's speed and accuracy while enhancing privacy, are crucial. These controls ensure data protection and utility, facilitating faster decision-making, business value enhancement, and potential new revenue streams from data.
According to Bond, Anonos stands out with its unique approach, leveraging performant privacy-based controls. Anonos' flagship offering, the Data Embassy software, provides businesses with centralized control over decentralized processing, making it possible to access protected data sets instantly. It also offers “Variant Twins” - use-case specific digital twins with embedded controls that cater to diverse requirements like generating synthetic data for testing, redacting personal information, de-identifying data for model production use, and more.
Performant privacy-based controls can help organizations overcome privacy hurdles, share and utilize more data, and improve the economic value realized from data. Anonos' implementation is differentiating, and to the extent that it can address the challenges described in this paper, the company has a significant opportunity for success”, concludes Bond.
