What is data-centric protection, you ask?

It’s been a common saying for some time, that it is not a matter if organizations are being breached but when!

As a result, companies are investing more and more in data protection. Ever tighter compliance rules and regulations require organizations to develop sound security strategies to protect their valuable data assets and to ensure data privacy.

Protecting data is more critical than ever before. Data is one of the most valuable assets for organizations as they become more and more data-driven. Customers demand data privacy and partners expect that you conduct business with their data in a secure manner.

But how do you protect that valuable data effectively?
