Cyber up or shut down
In today’s threat landscape, it’s no longer a question of if your organisation will face a cyber incident but how well you will recover when it happens. Cohesity and Sithabile Technology Services held an ITWeb webinar on 23 April that examined practical strategies to help your organisation stay operational, protect critical data and recover at speed. #cohesity #sithabile
These six considerations should be top of mind for IT managers when choosing a backup and recovery solution.
Many companies still focus on front-end data protection, not seeing backups as a crucial role in their cyber security strategy, according to the Arcserve report.
The partnership offers a combined solution that enables customers to increase the performance of their backup infrastructure while reducing data storage and complexity.
Data Protector for Cloud Workloads is the newest offering to the Data Protector portfolio.
As cyber attacks increasingly bombard local organisations, World Backup Day serves as a reminder to back up data as a matter of urgency.
Recovery can often be the missing part of the successful business continuity equation, says Byron Horn-Botha, business unit head at Arcserve Southern Africa.
The legislation around data privacy is still in development in Kenya, so there is a lack of standardisation when it comes to data management.
Ransomware is becoming a fact of business life. A lot of money and effort is going into preventing these attacks, but much too little into ensuring a quick recovery.
When it comes to data protection in the cloud, companies should hope for the best and prepare for the worst, says Arcserve's Florian Malecki,.
The customer, and not the service provider, is primarily responsible for protecting their data in the cloud, and CIOs should not assume cloud providers are secure.
Data volumes are growing due to IOT and big data, while the time allocated for backups is shrinking, says Actifio SA.
Backup forms part of a greater business continuity plan which, in many organisations, is non-existent, says ITNA.
