The 2021 Egnyte Data Governance Trends Report is based on survey data from 400 C-level IT leaders, highlighting the latest challenges in securing and governing the single largest source of enterprise data risk: content.
In 2020, IT leaders reported that the shift to remote work had accelerated content sprawl and created new levels of data risk.
