Data is at the heart of today's business. It's an essential business asset, the lifeblood of the modern organization. While essential, however, it's also a real headache-and those headaches come from everywhere.
> Management: The amount of data now being held presents a huge challenge. Whether the focus is storing it, protecting it, or just managing the volume, the issues can seem endless.
> Regulation: The increasing regulation of data shows no sign of abating. Becoming and remaining compliant with the appropriate regulations and ensuring the organization is correctly governing the use of data is not easy.
> Security: Security remains the primary challenge for most organizations and data is the number one target. Cybercriminals' main goal is to achieve access to data. Whether to steal it, deny an organization access to it, or use it to commit other crimes, data is the ultimate target in most cybersecurity cases.
It was hard enough when the data was in one location. But today, it's in the cloud, on SaaS platforms, and in mobile and IoT devices. The challenge is further exacerbated by ongoing needs for collaboration, analytics, and everyone's new favorite, generative AI.
