By design, data backup functions have traditionally been siloed and hidden away. But in the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the surge in ransomware attacks has brought backup and recovery functions into the light of top leadership and forced organizations to rethink their data protection strategies. No longer is data recovery just a technical necessity, but its also now a critical business continuity concern at the board level. Read more

As we approach the one year anniversary of two prominent ransomware group collapses (Lockbit and BlackCat/ALPHV), we find the ransomware ecosystem to be as fractured and uncertain as it did in the months following these events. The Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model remains irreversibly tarnished after the groups that pioneered this framework were exposed as being fraught with infighting, deception, lost profits, and compromised anonymity for their affiliates. Joint law enforcement actions over the last year have systematically impaired the resources ransomware actors depend on to operate. In the case of domestic threats, law enforcement efforts have even put a number of bad actors behind bars. While certain groups persist and new names continue to trickle in and out of the ransom-sphere, ... Read more

Have you heard about the recent UniSuper and Google Cloud accident? The recent data outage that impacted UniSuper serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with relying solely on a single cloud provider and highlights the importance for businesses to prioritize data resilience to minimize downtime. To address these challenges, many organizations are now turning to the concept of hybrid and multi-cloud. By combining the benefits of multiple cloud providers and on-premises infrastructure, businesses can mitigate the risks associated with relying on a single cloud provider and unlock additional benefits such as improved scalability, reliability, and flexibility. The hybrid and multi-cloud approach offers a strategic solution that not only enhances data resilience but also ensures businesses are better ... Read more

It’s safe to say many organizations have embraced some form of cloud strategy. Some have adopted a hybrid cloud model, while others have chosen a multi-cloud model with Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, or Infrastructure as a Service. Regardless of the infrastructure choice, businesses must protect and secure these environments. Microsoft Azure offers a range of cloud services and tools to help secure your environment and data. However, it's crucial to be aware of the critical gaps in Azure's security tools and features. Let’s dive into Azure’s security tools, their capabilities, and later we will reinforce the areas where we can make improvements. Read more

Ransomware attacks are more sophisticated than ever, targeting cloud-based workloads and posing significant risks to organizations. These cyberthreats can encrypt critical data, disrupt business operations, and demand hefty ransoms. Tactics such as double extortion and data theft amplify this potential damage, so a solid defense strategy is essential for safeguarding your cloud workloads. Read more

Hybrid and multi-cloud environments are often chosen because they offer flexibility, resilience, compliance capabilities, and opportunities for optimization and innovation for modern businesses. According to a report published by Enterprise Strategy Group in 2023, the majority of organizations use multiple on-premises data centers, colocation providers, and Platform as a Service (PaaS)/Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers to power their IT infrastructure. A staggering 85% of organizations use two or more IaaS providers, making the need for cloud synchronization and effective management tools stronger than ever. Read more
