CIO Influence Interview with Richard Vibert, CEO at Metomic

Hi Richard. Welcome to CIO Influence's Predictions Series 2024. Please tell us about the evolving role of data security teams.
Security teams will detect and protect data across more platforms in 2024.

Effective data security starts with understanding where your sensitive data is stored. After all, you can't protect what you can't see.

Right now, we're only seeing this in limited silos, like data warehouses. But, what about the many cloud vendors and SaaS applications that a team might be using?

If a customer's phone number is stored in a database, where else might it be stored?

In 2024, companies will expand their focus beyond data warehouses to encompass all their cloud vendors and myriad SaaS applications. Companies will be better equipped to detect, connect, and protect sensitive data across their entire cloud estate, from one unified platform.
