Our VP for Data Ethics & Governance, Sophie Chase-Borthwick, was recently part of a panel – the PICCASO Special Interest Group. Sophie joined William Malcolm (Privacy Legal Director at Google), Radha Gohil (Data Ethics Strategy Lead at Shell), and Anne Woodley (Security Specialist at Microsoft) in untangling what data ethics actually means and how best to support it.

I’m not big on acronyms or buzzwords. Like many executives, my eyes glaze over when I’m being prospected with an alphabet soup of technology terms I supposedly “need” to care about.

There’s no question that centralized identity and access management (IAM) helps companies reduce risk and prevent attacks.

Rubrik CDM is scale-out and fault-tolerant. Our software runs as a clustered system consisting of multiple nodes, where each node runs an identical copy of our software stack; each node is equally able to perform operations like data protection and recovery. To increase capacity a user simply adds more nodes. The system continues to operate when a node fails, other nodes pick up the workload while the node is offline. Scale-out, fault-tolerant products are built on distributed systems.
