Cloud data security is a shared responsibility, but it’s a shared responsibility that is governed, ultimately, by the contract.

SearchCompliance.com Editorial Director Scot Petersen recently sat down with Jeffrey Ritter, an attorney and recognized expert on technology law, to discuss how bring-your-own-device (BYOD) программ, cloud use and vendor relationships are influencing data protection strategy.
