Storing more data at reduced cost enables businesses to extract more value and insights to […]

Customers across many industries face increasingly stringent audit and compliance requirements on data security and privacy.

As more organizations look to operate faster and at scale, they need ways to meet critical compliance requirements and improve data security. Encryption is a critical component of a defense in depth strategy, and when used correctly, can provide an additional layer of protection above basic access control. However, workloads that access millions or billions […]
