Packaging executives are finding data governance is a double-edged sword; increasing access to data can bring major benefits, but it comes at a risk to security.

That’s according to PMMI Business Intelligence’s 2024 report “Transforming Packaging and Processing Operations,” which analyzes the responses of packaging industry executives at the 2024 Top to Top Summit. The data governance and security challenges these executives have experienced emphasize the need for robust strategies to manage and protect the data collected and stored in data lakes.

This includes concerns about interoperability and sharing data across different platforms and stakeholders while ensuring data security and privacy.

One panelist at the Summit pointed to the importance of storing data in the cloud so it can be shared across organizations.
