Attended Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit? So did we!

I have to say, being on the other side of the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit was a combination of exciting, fun, and educational. The cool thing is that I still got to get up on stage and the bonus was to see all the hard work that goes into exhibiting. I think the Fasoo team did a fantastic job setting up and manning the booth. At our booth at the Summit, we...

So, in my last post, I mentioned a series of webinars and thought this would be a good opportunity to provide a little preview into some of the topics we’re planning on discussing. Unstructured data, of course! But what about it? I’ll be discussing the challenges… kind of a “What I heard from you as a Gartner data security analyst” in a “How to navigate through the maze of methodologies, governance and technologies” sort...
