How has data management changed as companies distribute data across cloud, data centers and on-premises? John Drake and Brian Hoekelman of Faction share insights.

In a video interview with Information Security Media Group, Drake and Hoekelman discuss:

  • Unique challenges and unsuccessful approaches to data management;
  • How to simplify multi-cloud data management;
  • How to improve data security and access control.
