As organizations grow the size of their businesses, the volume of the data they own grows in parallel. Any organization that holds or processes personal data also owns a legal responsibility to handle it in compliance with many data privacy regulations.
IDC predicts that by 2020, more than 1.5 billion people, or nearly 1/4 of the world’s population, will be affected by data breaches.
