Data is the engine behind innovation and the top prize in every breach. By 2028, experts predict that the world will generate 394 zettabytes of data. For context, one zettabyte equals a trillion gigabytes. This is more than enough to store every movie made millions of times. As the volume of data continues to explode and spread across various systems, platforms, and geographies, organizations are struggling to keep up with the increasing complexity. This growing data sprawl is making them more vulnerable to breaches.
At OpenText, we are proud to help organizations safeguard their most valuable asset: data. We are excited to announce that OpenText earned recognition as an overall Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Data Security Platforms. We achieved this recognition in all three categories: product leadership, innovation leadership, and market leadership.
This recognition reflects our commitment to delivering intelligent, integrated, and scalable data security solutions that meet the evolving needs of the modern data landscape.
