A data strategy has many components, but a trinity of drivers leads to true data democracy: Management, Trust and Visibility. Businesses must be able to manage the data they have to extract value easily. Data must be trusted, as strategic business decisions can be based on a single source of truth. And within the security aspect of data democracy, data must be protected from attack.
