Northern Trust gears up for GDPR through data governance solutions - SiliconANGLE

Mention data governance to many corporate executives and you might get eye rolling and a quick change of subject. Business leaders are more focused on revenue rather than meeting regulatory demands. But the rise in enterprise data has also brought government-driven demands for privacy and protections that are forcing companies across the world to adopt tools to meet new requirements. "Governance is a very abstract concept. Most people want to run away from anything close to governance," said Sanjay Saxena (pictured), senior vice president of enterprise data governance at Northern Trust Corp. Saxena visited theCUBE, SiliconANGLE's mobile live-streaming studio, and answered questions from hosts Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and James Kobielus (@jameskobielus) during IBM Fast Track Your Data in Munich, Germany.
