In this episode of the Perspectives podcast, sponsored by Microsoft and hosted on Law.com, we'll hear highlights from the January 23rd presentation titled, Navigating Data Protection & Risk in the Cloud Era Using Intelligent Technology Solutions.

Digital transformation has led to an explosion of data that grows exponentially every day, resulting in a complex digital environment that poses new risks. Adding to that complexity are new regulations and standards that are constantly emerging and evolving. The unfortunate reality is, there are new risks companies face including hacking, data leaking, security breaches, and more.
