Interested in the do’s and don’ts of data management in China? Then join Alibaba Cloud and Xebia’s very own Léon Rodenburg at the Cybersecurity & Cloud Expo on November 26 at 10:30.
“When your IT company is planning to enter the Chinese market with one or more of its products, you will very likely run into a plethora of challenges. Legal, technical, and cybersecurity restrictions all apply, while a lot of the technical solutions you might assume to be present cannot be used in China”, explains Léon. “This means that many companies see China as a big risk, especially when it comes to data management and security. Some even give up on China altogether. But by utilizing the right cloud infrastructure, like the one Alibaba Cloud provides, separating your product across regions can ensure your data stays secure and compliant within each locality.”
