In this podcast, recorded in December 2017, Chris talks to Nigel Tozer, Solutions Marketing Director, EMEA at Commvault.  Today the subject is GDPR, otherwise known as the General Data Protection Regulation.  GDPR is an update to existing data protection legislation that is meant to reflect the needs of EU citizens in protecting their personal data in a digital age.

Chris and Nigel talk through the issues, some of the steps end users can take and how Commvault offers solutions to bring businesses in line with GDPR.
