DESCRIPTION
The endless growth of data created and stored by organizations is a growing challenge complicated by the rise of mobile applications, remote work collaboration platforms, and evolving regulatory demands. Despite best practices emphasizing the controlled retention of only critical information, many companies continue to hoard data—an approach that amplifies costs, privacy risks, and operational inefficiencies.
This session explores how a balanced information governance strategy mitigates the risks of over-retention. Learn how to take a risk-based, actionable approach to data minimization, defensibly dispose of unnecessary information, and make compelling business cases for investing in reduction initiatives. With insights from seasoned industry experts and a focus on privacy laws, compliance mandates, and employee productivity, this webinar empowers attendees to cut through decision paralysis and tackle the ROT challenge head-on.
