This is the biggest opportunity to ever present itself to the Forms install base and your chance to embrace risk free Forms modernization on mobile devices.

DEVELOPER TRACK: Data-Centric Security Key to Cloud and Digital Business

Paper: Data-Centric Security Key to Cloud and Digital Business Mar 17, 2016

The rapid rise of cloud databases, storage and applications has led to unease among adopters over the security of their data. Whether it is data stored in a public, private or hybrid cloud, or used in third party SaaS applications, companies have good reason to be concerned. The biggest challenge in this interconnected world is merging data security with data value and productivity. If we are to realize the benefits promised by these new ways of doing business, we urgently need a data-centric strategy to protect the sensitive data flowing through these digital business systems.
