Universal data protection has never been more critical as organizations spread their digital footprint across hundreds of SaaS applications and cloud environments. In this compelling conversation, Andy Fernandez, Senior Director of Product Marketing at HYCU, pulls back the curtain on the company's groundbreaking integration with Dell Power Protect Data Domain, recently announced at Dell Technologies World.

As the fastest-growing data protection as a service provider globally, Haiku now empowers Dell customers to shield their entire data estate through 86 specialized integrations. The partnership comes at a pivotal moment when organizations face unprecedented challenges in securing critical information. Beyond the obvious Microsoft 365 environments, Andy reveals the "crown jewels" hiding in plain sight – GitHub repositories containing intellectual property, Box folders housing sensitive research, and emerging AI vector databases that remain dangerously exposed in most enterprises.

The conversation explores why data governance has suddenly become a central focus at major tech conferences, driven by dual pressures of geopolitical data residency requirements and the growing threat of supply chain attacks. Andy dismantles the false choice between compliance and innovation, sharing real-world examples from financial services and healthcare customers who successfully balance protection with progress. With 60% of corporate data now residing in cloud environments and the average mid-sized organization using over 200 SaaS applications, the discussion provides timely guidance for organizations navigating complex decisions around VMware transitions and AI implementation. Whether you're rethinking your approach to data protection or building resilience into your cloud strategy, this episode delivers actionable insights for securing your organization's most valuable digital assets.
