In a world that's increasingly dependent on digital ecosystems, how do you ensure that your platform stands up to the demands of security and compliance?

In this episode of Data (R)evolution, we are joined by Jamie Arlen, Aiven's CISO, and Chris Hill, CISO at Avaya. With rising demands for transparency and data security, Jamie and Chris discuss maintaining compliance with standards like Fedramp, PCI, GDPR, and HIPAA, while emphasizing the need for trust within teams and partnerships, proactive preparation for security incidents, and the continuous effort required for maintaining compliance and security.
