Guests: Tim Dierks, Engineering Director, Data Protection @ Google Cloud Topics: What are the key components of data security in the public cloud today? Why do companies need specific data security plans and products? Do you think Google Cloud today has enough controls for processing the most sensitive data? Many organizations seem to be unaware of where sensitive data exists in their cloud environments, how do you think this problem will be fixed? What is your view on encryption's role in future cloud security? Do organizations mostly encrypt for security or for compliance? How do we help companies navigate the tradeoffs between complying with nation-state regulations and best practices for availability?
