In today’s data-driven world, data loss and downtime can be disastrous. Organizations must take proactive measures to protect operational resiliency in the face of threats like ransomware, IT complexity and simply, the unknown. To combat these threats, awareness is key—you need a resiliency strategy built on a foundation of knowledge and guidance from a dedicated data protection partner.

Cybercriminals inject malware into IT systems, seeking to delete or encrypt an organization’s data and demanding a ransom to recover. Whether the ransom is paid or not, recovery isn’t guaranteed without an effective resiliency strategy in place.

Modern IT systems are flexible and powerful, taking advantage of a broad range of hardware and software solutions. But this dynamic approach complicates day-to-day data management and protection. It can even take data out of your immediate control.

Despite the prevalence of cloud services, uncertainty remains around who’s responsible for maintaining cloud-based data and who’s liable for its integrity and recovery.

of cloud architects and administrators believe cloud data is backed up by the cloud provider, even though it isn’t true.

Some of the biggest threats to operational resiliency are unknowns that may have a destructive impact on IT systems.
