How can you ensure that your data is secure, compliant, and accessible, without compromising productivity or innovation? In this session, Peter shared how Microsoft's data protection and governance solutions can help achieve a holistic and effective cybersecurity strategy. Astonishingly, Information Protection solutions like Microsoft Purview are still not as heavily adopted by organisations as much as Endpoint and Identity counterparts.
We explored why I believe that an effective Data Security strategy is arguably the most important part of any organisation's approach to a robust Security, Compliance, & Identity posture. We also discussed the important questions we need to be challenging our customers with to turn their data into an asset, not a liability.
