“It’s a very exciting time to be joining Secerno. Recent high-profile breaches mean database security is moving higher and higher up the security agenda. Consumers are also becoming increasingly aware of the need to protect their personal details, which is putting even more pressure on organisations to prove they take database security seriously,” says Kate James, Sales Manager, Secerno. “Coming from a security background, I can confidently predict that database security technology will very soon be considered as imperative as anti-virus, firewalls, and other traditional security technologies.”
