During the presentation, O'Hare and Stotland will provide an in-depth look into how enterprise data can be secured beyond today's traditional solutions by embracing software-defined protection. By examining the current state of data security, they will also share ways to embrace multiple cloud-based storage services while improving performance, availability and reliability that is needed today.
