Effective Data Mesh Begins with Robust Data Governance
Despite the growing emphasis on agility in the modern business landscape, it’s still surprisingly common to find organisations that rely on a rigid, centralised decision-making structure.

The path of least resistance to Privileged Access Management

When it […]
Future-proofing industrial operations with an Industrial Data Fabric

In 2020, the total amount of data generated and consumed was 64.2 zettabytes. The challenge, however, […]
A Roadmap to Modern Application Security
A decade ago, Silicon Valley venture capitalist Marc Andreeson famously declared that “software is eating the world.” A bold statement at the time. But it has since become clear that Andreeson was right. Software is now ubiquitous – and it touches nearly every aspect of our lives. Today’s shift to software has had a profound […]
