At this year's Cisco Live! in San Diego, IT leaders discussed the need for thorough data governance to enable successful and secure AI use cases. CDW's Stephanie Hagopian said that organizations in more highly regulated industries are the most likely to be concerned about security and data governance. Shawn Spurko (Innovation Federal Credit Union) and Will Trout (American National Bank) shared their experiences working within the heavily regulated financial services industry, corroborating Hagopian's assertions about the importance of data governance.
