The journey to the cloud continues to accelerate. We consistently face an avalanche of data, and the cost and agility benefits that come with the cloud are hard to ignore. Even still, this movement is taking place at a time when evolving privacy regulations and security challenges require companies to institute unprecedented levels of governance. For many organizations, these appear to be conflicting demands, one driven by the need to use more data faster for business initiatives and the other driven by the desire to avoid potential fines and minimize brand damage.
