The data-centric security model focuses on protecting an organization's sensitive data as opposed to protecting the overall computer networks and applications — as is the case with more traditional security models that function primarily by implementing a security perimeter designed to keep bad actors out. That said, data-centric security is intended to support an organization's overall data loss prevention strategy in conjunction with network, anti-virus, and other enterprise security incident and event management systems.
