"A lot of the time, you don't need that next-gen security solution to fix the ransomware problem if you're doing those basic things correctly," he says.

Preparing for GDPR compliance with a focus on risk management; Tracking emerging threats; Addressing the "shadow data" challenge.

Arandjelovic, EMEA director of product marketing at Symantec, has over 17 years of experience in the industry. Before joining Symantec, he worked at Siemens, Eicon Networks and Intel.
