“As an organisation we’re trying to veer towards to what I refer to as Account Based Everything” declares this week’s guest Chris Willman, EMEA North Marketing Director at global cyber resilience firm Commvault. “The more we think: how does this fit into everything we’re doing, the better it performs”
