Digital transformation is no more an option but a necessity

Ripu Bajwa, Director & General Manager, Data Protection Solutions, Dell Technologies, India 

"This year has been difficult for organizations as well as individuals due to the massive disruption across all sectors. These challenging times have made us realize that digital transformation is no more an option, but a necessity, with most of the businesses transforming their operating models and opting for a remote working environment. 

It is encouraging to witness businesses transforming rapidly and adopting a digital strategy which would have otherwise taken months. However, simultaneously they need to ensure data security amidst the rising cyber threats that are hovering around their data storage 24*7. As we enter the new year, organizations will not only need to manage their extensive workloads, but equally ensure that data flow is secured, without any security bug. Similarly, solution providers need to establish a channel to provide enhanced security to regulate the data traffic across multiple end points and offer the solutions as per customer' consumption needs and IT budget. Additionally, due to increased conversations around data privacy, organizations need to be extremely careful while managing the data of their customers and ensure that it’s not exposed to any malicious attack or breach."
