To stay current and competitive, today’s research labs require modern software, robust protection protocols, and a keen eye on evolving security requirements. These needs are especially critical in the biotech industry given the large volumes of sensitive data labs must process and store. Data security is not just routine procedure, but the core of safeguarding research data, the lifeblood of the lab. Ensuring adequate data protection, however, has become overcomplicated with technical jargon and complex certifications. How do you know if the tools you’re using are properly protecting your data?
In this webinar, Brendan McCorkle, CEO of SciNote, and data security experts from bladestack.io discuss the current landscape of data protection including security certifications such as FedRAMP and ISO27001, tips in software acquisition and other implications on lab digitalization. This conversational on-demand webinar provides essential insights and practical knowledge—with special relevance to the biotech industry—in a manner accessible to a wide range of roles and experience levels.
