Ep 61 - Unstructured Data Solutions - Part 2: The Storage Risks for Unstructured Data

Author: Government Technology Insider December 4, 2023 Duration: 7:05

There are risks involved when dealing with unstructured data (UD). If they do not have a secure storage environment, agencies could lose all their data through ransomware attacks. The data can become inaccessible, open to exfiltration and deletion, and vulnerable to data corruption. UD solutions are helping agencies to better secure their information.

These were the key themes discussed in the new podcast from Government Technology Insider. Part two of the “Unstructured Data Solutions” podcast discusses the risks involved with not storing unstructured data properly and the cybersecurity implications. Dallas Nash, Senior Director of Sales for Unstructured Data Solutions at Dell, explores this topic further with host Kevin Tierney.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
