In 2020, the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic irrevocably altered the landscape of G Suite data protection. First, there was a massive increase in the use of G Suite as a collaboration platform and as storage for sensitive data. Add the increase in remote work and you the perfect recipe for widespread data loss - from both external and internal sources. The growth in volume and sophistication of account takeover, phishing and spear phishing attacks coupled with reductions in IT budgets and staffing only raises the chances of data disasters. These factors have grown awareness across industries for the need for third-party data protection technology.

Join G Suite Guru Shyam Oza and Spanning’s Director of Product Marketing, Dave Wallen, as they explore:

  • The magnitude of these changes and how they effected individual organizations and the market.
  • Trends that will continue and predictions for new issues in the coming year.
  • Actions to take to prepare for 2021.
