Data security doesn't involve just securing data at rest or in transit. It also needs to be secured in use – which means that at any point, the characteristics of the data can change. We call this situation a "data event," and it can mean that security requirements have to change as a result. This talk discusses the implications of data events, and how their dynamic, business-driven nature needs to be addressed, possibly by new security technologies.
