Who can still open your files after they've left?
EVENT: Peers compare how they find the shares nobody closed, over dinner with The Register in London.
Someone left your organisation in the spring. Can they still open the project share? Most infrastructure leads would want to check before answering, and that pause is the subject of a dinner The Register and LucidLink are hosting for senior technology, infrastructure and data leaders at the Covent Garden Hotel on Tuesday 24 November. Joe Fay of The Register is in the chair.
The trouble is the copies. A busy folder lives on the file server, in a sync client, on a couple of laptops and in the share set up for an agency last year, and each copy carries its own permissions. Locking down one leaves the others as they were. Then there's the tool a team built for itself because the approved one was too slow, which IT may not know exists.
The evening runs under the Chatham House Rule, and that's what makes it worth going. People say what actually happened in their own shop and how they caught it. Alan Marshall, Strategic Director, EMEA at LucidLink, joins a small group of peers round the table. Nobody presents.
The talk moves on to unstructured data that keeps growing, the duplicate storage that comes with it, and how to get access back under control without throwing out the storage and governance you've already paid for.
Drinks are at 6.30pm and dinner around one table runs until 9pm. Places are limited.
