Data security and compliance are key issues that every organization needs to solve. But with data exchanged in such large volumes, hybrid IT environments, remote workforces, and blurred perimeter lines, data security is a seemingly impossible challenge. Indeed, the added risk of data being intercepted or manipulated, and inevitable human error creates the perfect storm.
However, with the right data security strategy and layered, complementary software tools for end-to-end data protection, these factors can be resolved.
Join our panel of experts during Data Security Week LIVE as we take an in-depth look at the challenges surrounding data security and offer ways to ensure data is kept secure and compliant throughout its lifecycle.
Sessions will run each day starting at 11am BST consisting of two 1-hour sessions, with a short break in between. Registering will sign you up for all sessions. Attend the sessions that are convenient and we'll send you the recordings for all sessions at the end of the week!
