Welcome to the fourth in the Quest Software Podcast series, The Data Dilemma: How to Become a Data-Centric Enterprise.  In this episode, we are considering Resilience and Security. Improving resilience and security are priorities for enterprises, none more so than in the context of their data strategies. The pandemic illustrated how sensitive data must be protected as it moves across increasingly remote networks. As businesses become data enterprises, security and resilience are core pillars on which business processes will be built.     The technology infrastructures that businesses rely upon have moved through massive change. The impact of the cloud and today's hybrid approach to data and network management, together with transforming business processes and a dispersed workforce, has meant a new approach to data resilience and security is needed.

In this second episode we will be considering the data quality imperative.     Organisations rely on their data more than ever before. From IT and business operations, through strategic decisions, to sales and marketing pipelines, the need for technology professionals to maximise value from their organisation's data continues to elevate in importance.      Data governance encapsulates the policies and procedures necessary to ensure an organisation's data is accurate and the strategies needed to deliver increased visibility, transparency, and control while reducing risk across the entire data estate.
