What is the future of AI Security and Data Protection?

Securing data is hard. Business stops when data flows are hindered, stopped, sometimes even slowed. Placing controls around data traditionally leads to more friction and less productivity. Can it be a different story in the cloud? Today, we find out when we talk to Dan Benjamin about why he founded Dig and the space they're trying to fill in public cloud services. Paddy Harrington joins us from Forrester research to discuss his findings in this year's state of IoT security report. Computers have been shoved into anything and everything, both in the home and in the workplace. Paddy will share some interesting insights from the report, and we'll discuss why some of the results seem to conflict. Segment description coming soon!
