5 . Data breaches vs . regulatory environment
Cybersecurity threats are more sophisticated and data breaches are skyrocketing . Consequently , the regulatory environment is evolving fast in the UK , with the new Data Protection and Digital Information Bill on the parliament ’ s agenda .
As more data is collected , stored and processed in multiple locations , the attack surface for malicious activity also grows , making compliance with international data laws and regulations more complex . In addition , customers want to do business with organisations they can trust with their data . These trends underscore how data users and consumers have changed and how organisations adapt to stay relevant .
In the new data era , simply being digital is no longer a differentiator
According to the Dell Technologies Digital Transformation Index , 94 % of UK businesses agree that extracting valuable insights from data will be more critical for their business than ever . Although the importance of extracting actionable insights from data is evident , organisations often lack confidence in their data integrity .
Today we have zettabytes of data at our fingertips every second and intelligent compute infrastructure , software and algorithms to rapidly turn that data into meaningful insights . With such a tremendous influx of data , it is critical to be business-ready faster , accelerating data movement across the multi-cloud landscape – turning insights into actions and driving speedy outcomes . Now more than ever , organisations need to rethink data management with the new data regulations debated in parliament as we speak . This is especially important if they are to become an intelligent business with a leadership position in the data era . p
