Organizations are scaling their environments at a rapid pace, deploying thousands of cloud resources, services, and accounts. Because of their size and complexity, these environments are more susceptible to compliance issues—a misconfiguration in a single cloud resource can lead to costly data breaches. For that reason, organizations are prioritizing governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) management to ensure that their environments are configured appropriately.
85% of Machine Learning (ML) projects fail. This stark reminder from Gartner – despite more tools being available to businesses than ever. The thing is ML success is not just about tools and technology; it’s about how they’re put into production by experts. Plural.
