Data-Centric Security Trends: Secure Your Cloud Data Now 2022
Data drives business and better data supplied quicker drives competitive advantage. During every stage of its existence, this priceless data must, of course, be guarded against unauthorized access and compromise. However, businesses handle their data and ensure its security in a disorganized and haphazard manner. How can businesses increase the safety of their data while at the same time simplifying how users access it?
The response is that this difficulty can only be overcome by transitioning to a data-centric security architecture AND by fostering collaboration between the data and security teams in order to construct a “single source of truth.”
Privacy SIG: Operationalising Privacy in Small & Mid-Sized Organizations
The process of operationalizing and implementing privacy is a challenging endeavor for any organization.

If businesses want to remain in business, however, it is imperative for them to adhere to all privacy regulations that are now in effect.
During this workshop, we will discuss a strategy and methodology for implementing privacy in small and medium-sized businesses.
