Whether an organization is public or private, large or small, it runs on data both received from external sources and generated internally including by unlocking it from physical containers. Organizations must protect their data, provide secure access as required, ensure its accuracy and authenticity, understand all its usages, and comply with rules and regulations as it moves through time, space, and location.

During this panel we will discuss general issues related to data lifecycle management.
