Much like wine (😉), having data doesn’t mean you have quality data. Today it's easier than ever to get data on almost anything.

Hybrid and multi-cloud environments become the new reality for many organizations who want to get the most out of their on-premises and cloud investments.
When I speak with customers, especially chief information security officers (CISOs), one of their most consistent requests is that they want interoperability. They want the software they buy to work with the software they have and plan to buy in the future. Nearly every organization, certainly every enterprise company, has an installed base of hardware and software representing a significant investment in time and money.
