GDPR requires organizations "to make sure that they're aware of the data they hold and that they have a governance model in terms of access and control and accountability. And it's ... a very hard task to do," says Matt Lock of Varonis.

In a video interview at the recent Infosecurity Europe conference in London, Lock discusses:

Privacy by design; Data governance essentials; Using data context, access and visibility to create a baseline for behavior and better identify and respond to anomalous events.
