As organizations accelerate digital transformation, the ability to govern data effectively has become a strategic differentiator. For CISOs and senior security leaders, this means shifting from a perimeter-first mindset to one that embeds governance into the lifecycle of data itself—where it is created, classified, shared, and retired. Strong governance frameworks not only reduce risk but also enable trust, accountability, and business value. This discussion will explore how to align security with enterprise data governance strategies in order to balance protection, compliance, and innovation.

Key themes include:

• Embedding security into enterprise data governance frameworks.

• Aligning data classification, stewardship, and lifecycle management with business priorities.

• Enabling responsible data use while reducing risk and strengthening trust.
