Here is a question worth sitting with: when did you last prove your recovery time objective, rather than assert it? Read more

The deal is simple: Give us a treat, or there might be a trick. Of course, these days, we’re mostly there for the treat: A chocolate bar, a handful of candy or, if you picked the right house, a full-size one. The possibility of a trick adds to the fun, even though most of us expect a treat. If only enterprise data worked the same way. A recovery that doesn’t recover. Sensitive data where you didn’t expect it. Security tools that add complexity. AI built on data you can’t confidently trust. Nobody wants surprises in these areas. So, this Halloween, let’s knock on five doors to uncover common data tricks and the treats that can help you avoid them. Read more

In an AI-driven enterprise, resilience is no longer an insurance policy. It is the operating model for trust, continuity, and scale. Read more

Every education institution that has experienced a ransomware attack can point to the moment its systems came back online. Far fewer can demonstrate, with evidence, that the recovered data was accurate, uncompromised, and safe to put back in front of students, faculty, and regulators. Read more

Ask most IT teams where their data lives and you'll get a confident answer about production. Ask where every backup, backup copy, and replica lives, and the answer gets a lot less certain. Read more

Imagine you’ve bought the best home security system money can buy. Cameras on every entrance. Motion sensors in every room. Alarms on every door and window. You open the app and everything is green. Read more

Cyber threats don’t stop at traditional security infrastructure. Attackers increasingly target backup environments to disrupt recovery, yet activity within these environments can remain disconnected from the tools and workflows security teams use to monitor and investigate threats. Read more

The third quarter of 2026 reinforced a decisive shift in the threat environment: ransomware is increasingly shedding the “ware” in favor of pure, low-friction data extortion. Nowhere was this clearer than in the recent high-profile leak of internal chat logs belonging to the Silent Ransom Group. The leaked communications revealed threat actors who have largely abandoned network-wide encryption binaries in favor of direct cloud and SaaS exfiltration, aggressive social engineering, and targeted physical insider attacks. By removing the costly, labor-intensive deployment of ransomware encryption, groups like Silent Ransom Group can execute rapid breach-and-extort operations that bypass traditional endpoint defenses while maintaining leverage over victims.

Your jobs completed last night. Retention is enforced, repositories are provisioned, and the dashboard has been green all week. None of that answers the two questions you'll get in the first 10 minutes of an incident: How fast can we be back? And back to what? Read more

Most multicloud environments weren't planned. They grew with one smart decision at a time: AWS here, Azure there, and on-premises where it made the most sense. Read more
