Data privacy and protection have always been a top concern for organizations. Its importance has only grown as more data is stored on public cloud services, increasingly more sophisticated cyber attacks take advantage of the inter-connected nature of modern business, and stringent laws and regulations governing privacy have been put into place in recent years.
