Secure by Design. It's Not an Option for Your Data
Security needs to be a core business requirement for your most precious asset, not an option. As organizations push more data to the edge, increase their cloud dependency and embrace advanced technologies like generative AI to enable growth, new vulnerabilities are created that can allow attackers to compromise their systems.
In this session Matt and Jeff will explore how NetApp’s built-in security capabilities - through ONTAP and beyond - can be leveraged to enhance cyber resilience including data protection and governance, actioning zero trust, enabling AI-powered threat detection and ensuring data integrity.
