Protecting data has always been one of the most important tasks in all of IT, yet as more companies become data companies at the core, it sometimes becomes taken for granted—until a company gets hacked. Then the emphasis changes dramatically. Veritas was founded on the idea that infrastructure is software for large enterprises, and it really focuses on protection, availability and insights into how the infrastructure is performing.
Veritas says it will be there every step of the way in a company’s data protection journey, whether that means keeping up with national and international privacy regulations, ensuring airtight data protection or looking to gain valuable insights based on their data.
In this eSPEAKS video, we cover:
- High-level overview of what Veritas does
- Innovation and customizable capabilities within the company
- How dark data impacts Veritas
