White Paper

Data Security Challenges

of Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions inevitably lead to organizational and systems changes, and even leading organizations must hustle to maintain a good security posture during the transition.

With criminals monitoring the news for M&A announcements, CISOs and security teams must participate early in the M&A process and address security issues quickly in response to heightened threats.

This white paper walks you through three key security challenges of M&A, and how a DSPM solution helps you discover and protect your sensitive data throughout the M&A process:

• The “New Kid in Town”
  Adapting to new systems, policies, and cultures

• The “Lean Team”
  Maintaining security posture with smaller teams and new responsibilities

• Collaboration
  Ensuring formerly independent teams work together effectively
