Data backup is the last line of defense when a cyberattack occurs, especially when the attack is ransomware. With robust data backup technologies and procedures, an organization can return to a point-in-time prior to the attack and return to operations relatively quickly. But as data volumes continue to explode, ransomware attacks are growing more sophisticated and beginning to target that precious backup data and administrator functions.

Cloud complexity is an inevitability. Regardless of where an organization may be on their cloud journey – on-prem, in the public cloud, or managing an expanding hybrid cloud – the reality is managing the enterprise isn’t getting any easier. Demand continues to rise for greater access to more data across the organization to do things like run analytics and machine learning and to automate more processes.
