Agenda Day 2: 27th October 2021

11:00 AM Data Classification: The Foundation of Effective Cybersecurity

Amid a surge in new international data privacy laws and regulations, it is becoming increasingly challenging for organisations to stay compliant. It has therefore never been more important to develop a secure infrastructure to enable compliance obligations to be fulfilled, particularly following the shift to remote working during the COVID-19 crisis. The first step to achieving this aim is data classification, which provides a solid foundation to build towards onward compliance.


In this session, our team will explain how integrating data classification with necessary data protection tools such as DLP, rights management, encryption and more, will elevate your cybersecurity strategy. There will also be advice and tips on the right steps to take on this journey.


This session will demonstrate:

  • The increasingly challenging cybersecurity and data protection landscape
  • How to develop a robust compliance and data loss architecture
  • Why classification by design is the foundation of effective data protection and compliance
