June Recap: Dig at the Forefront of Data Security

June was an action-packed month for Dig Security, as we attended several major events from Tel Aviv, to Europe, to the US, reaffirming our position at the forefront of data security. From engaging in thought-provoking discussions to sharing valuable insights, here are the highlights of our eventful June:

Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit 2023

We kicked off the month with the highly anticipated Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit 2023 in National Harbor, MD, June 5th-7th. Our CEO & Co-Founder, Dan Benjamin, was in attendance at this prestigious event, which brought together security and risk management leaders.

Next on our event list was C-Vision International in Boston on June 8th. Dan Benjamin took the stage to deliver a talk titled "Tackling data security in the multi-cloud era," shedding light on how organizations should approach data security in the ever-evolving multi-cloud era. Dan emphasized the significance of data security posture management (DSPM), real-time data detection and response (DDR), and cloud data loss prevention (DLP) as essential components of a comprehensive cloud data security solution. He also addressed the challenges presented by the shift towards public clouds and the subsequent loss of visibility, control, and governance over data.
