A recent survey commissioned by Veeam revealed companies are feeling less protected and more concerned with the ability to recover and restore mission-critical data. That sense of vulnerability has organizations planning to spend more to fend off cyber-attacks while trying to alleviate the damage brought on by those attacks.
A recent survey commissioned by Veeam revealed companies are feeling less protected and more concerned with the ability to recover and restore mission-critical data. That sense of vulnerability has organizations planning to spend more to fend off cyber-attacks while trying to alleviate the damage brought on by those attacks.
Companies that participated in the survey believe cyber-attacks remain the biggest threat to inflict outages on their organization, resulting in loss of revenue and reputation. As such, they will focus more on utilizing cloud services to recover from significant outages. Only a small group of companies thought they could recover from a small cyber-attack in less than a week.
Dave Russell, Veeam’s VP of Enterprise Strategy, explained, “Ransomware continues to be the biggest threat to business continuity. It’s the number one cause of outages today, and protecting against it is hampering digital transformation efforts.” He said that although companies are increasing their protection spend, few believe they can recover quickly following an even small attack. He added that the insights from this year’s Veeam Data Protection Trends Report spotlight the need for continued cyber vigilance.
We have been watching the increased demands in IT orgs, especially around the growth in artificial intelligence as it becomes more broadly adopted in workspaces. With AI driving an even more rapid increase in data consumption and considering all data has value, CTOs must get to the source of each failure and be ready to bounce forward. Proactively addressing an outage and initiating change is critical to maintaining a production environment. As usual, Veeam’s annual report is thorough and full of actionable insights.
