We’re in a constant state of transformation where technology and security requirements are changing rapidly.

Over the last 18 months, organisations have seen large scale changes in terms of where employees are working from, the use of cloud applications and importantly,  to our network design patterns.

While digital transformation and security management has been the core focus of this rapid change, it’s been slower moving in the data protection space, which has always been a complex area. There are an array of considerations, competing priorities and some new approaches that need to be adopted.
