Last week, while taking discussing SearchYourCloud’s technology, I
was asked by a potential customer, "While I understand your focus on
Security, why does Search matter?"
Why indeed!
The asker of the question could understand why locking down content
at the document level is critical. There has certainly been enough fallout from
privacy breaches on the news to make its importance clear. But they were
confused about how Search is related to and important for a privacy solution.
Algorithms Are Our
Friends
Search matters because even if you secure documents, if you can't
locate them easily, they aren't very useful. If you lock content down, but then
can't access it quickly, what is the point?
Even when we set privacy concerns aside, with the growing amount of
content we all generate and use on a daily basis, it can be challenging to find
what we need in the ever growing data pool. Add to it the fact that we store
and share content in multiple clouds, on mobile devices, in email programs, and
on desktops and the task of finding something quickly becomes impossible.
That is why Search matters. So we can locate what we need, when we
need it. And get the job done.
