Data resilience readiness

ITWeb, in partnership with Veeam, is running a survey on data resilience readiness among businesses in Africa.

The survey aims to explore just how prepared these businesses are to recover from a ransomware or cyber attack, as well as the resources they have at their disposal to help them recover.

In this survey, we examine, among other things:

Does your organisation use backup data as an additional layer of defence to scan for indicators of compromise (IOCs), malware, or other threats?
Assuming a worst-case scenario where all systems are affected, how long would it take your organisation to restore full operations?
To what extent has your organisation integrated AI intelligence into its data protection strategies?

By completing the questionnaire, you stand a chance to win a Takealot or Amazon gift voucher to the value of R5 000.

The detailed results of the survey and the winner of the lucky prize draw will be published on ITWeb.
