CDW Executive SummIT: Why Data Governance Is the Foundation of Data Protection
At the CDW Executive SummIT in Las Vegas, CDW's Aaron McCray, Walt Powell and Dom Daidone and Okta's Jakob Grimm discussed key distinctions between data governance and data protection. Data governance provides the playbook for the ethical, moral, legal and regulatory requirements around your data, while data protection establishes how it will be used and maintained by people in an organization.
