What If Your Data Could Protect Itself? GuardWare Webinar on Data First Security

Could you tell your board and your regulator exactly what data was accessed if you were breached today? In this webinar hosted on March 11 , 2026, GuardWare CEO and cofounder Rizwan Mahmood is joined by Lloyd Hewitt, Director of Business Strategy for Worldwide Public Sector Defence and Intelligence at Microsoft, and host Jason Morell (CEO and cofounder of Murphin Group), for an honest conversation about why data first security needs to become non negotiable, and what practical steps security leaders can take to get there. Topics covered include the asymmetric nature of modern cyber threats, why visibility over sensitive data is usually partial and outdated, encryption in use versus encryption at rest, how regulators like APRA (CPS 234) and the Privacy Act are shifting the post breach conversation, and where to start without trying to boil the ocean across legacy systems and unstructured data.
