Digital Transformation of Everyday Life
Workforce diversification, climate change, global pandemics, and remote work—the new world order keeps putting enterprises’ business resiliency to test. There is always another situation to adapt to and always another barrier to overcome.
Amid this volatility is the constant pressure to deliver a smooth end-user experience—and do so at scale. Attaining such agility not only rests on various technologies, but also requires synchronization of digital workflows across the organization, systems, people, and devices.
This is where platforms such as ServiceNow shine, driving connected digital workflows across the enterprise, delivering modern, consumer-friendly experiences, and accelerating time-to-value as well as innovation. The Now Platform provides workflow automation at an enterprise scale, allowing you to optimize business processes for productivity, agility, and resiliency.
Compliance and Security: A Package Deal
Platforms such as ServiceNow process petabytes of sensitive and regulated data and leverage cloud technology for storage and computation—making data security an utmost priority.
What adds to the concern is growing compliance regulations (often region-specific), data sovereignty and privacy requirements, and above all, the lingering fear of a potential breach. There are more than 70 global data protection regulations in motion—many with severe financial penalties.
Which pushes the ServiceNow customers to ask questions like:
Encrypting data is an important part of a data protection solution. Businesses of every size and across every sector deal with information that needs strong . Think about it:
- Financial Services - Holds direct identifiers such as name, address, passport number, Social Security Numbers, and many others.
- Healthcare Sector - Hosts crucial data in terms of health conditions, medical reports, email address, phone number, age, and much more.
- Government and Defense - Hosts crucial data in the form of biometric information, in addition to personal information.
- Retail – Stores sensitive inventory details, financial data, logistical information, and technical data.
- Wearables and IoT- Most of the above items and more (like location and IP address details).
ServiceNow Data Security – Moving A Notch Higher with Fortanix
To provide greater control to customers, ServiceNow offers a Customer Controlled Switch (CCS) capability as an optional supplement to Database Encryption. This CCS solution requires customers provide an API endpoint.
