    Dell Technologies – DPS Division’s Manager of Systems Engineering, Ravi Baldev said, “If you want to protect your digital transformation journeys, you got to have the right mechanisms”, while enlightening all the participants on data protection.

    Talking about cyber resilient strategies for businesses, Enrico Salvatori, Business Consultant – Security at Micro Focus stated, “A resilient organization is one that understands how to anticipate threats, withstand problems, recover from breaches and evolve to the next version of itself”.
