Paid Feature<\/span> Normally, when we have more of something, we tend to think of it as less valuable. We might even become less protective of it.<\/p>\n

And if there\u2019s one thing we have a lot of, it\u2019s data. The amount of data created or replicated worldwide<\/a> hit 64.2ZB in 2020, according to IDC, and will continue growing at 23 per cent CAGR over the coming years.<\/p>\n

So, given this exponential rise in the amount of data that organisations are generating and holding, can we be a little more relaxed about looking after it? Of course not. If data wasn\u2019t valuable, we wouldn\u2019t have the scourge of ransomware, and tech execs wouldn\u2019t be having sleepless nights worrying about it.<\/p>\n
