With upgrade-safe extensibility and investment protection, each element of the platform pays for itself, seeds the next and ensures sustainable competitive advantage.” “Data is the most valuable asset to any organisation. Essentially, it’s the organisation’s crown jewels, and as such, it needs to be protected. But gone are the days of the ‘castle and moat’ type of security strategy. Whether moving to the cloud or testing AI in applications, data is becoming more exposed to risk and requires a strong security layer to protect processes. Entrust’s solutions help our customers implement the ‘never trust, always verify’ principle we see in zero trust, as it’s a cybersecurity best practice worth following to ensure data can only be accessed by the right entity, in the right way, at the right time.” Shri Hariharan Head of Manufacturing Industry Solutions Blue Yonder Samantha Mabey Director, Digital Solutions Marketing Entrust
