In December 1989, an evolutionary biologist named Dr. Joseph Popp sent out a floppy disk to around 20,000 people, marking the beginning of what would become the first known ransomware virus in history. The recipients of this disk were attendees at a World Health Organization conference in Stockholm, Sweden. Upon inserting the disk into their computers, they were greeted with a message demanding $189 be sent to a PO Box in Panama. Read more

Hybrid cloud scalability is an essential aspect of modern IT infrastructure.

Staying competitive in today’s business world is no small feat. Enterprises face constant pressure to adapt to new technologies and meet ever-evolving customer expectations. For many, modernizing legacy applications has become a critical step in achieving this adaptability. Read more

The State of Federal Government Cybersecurity

Government operations, public services, policy decisions, and other functions are all driven by highly distributed data stored on-premises and in hybrid multi-cloud environments. To counter adversaries in a post-quantum future, government entities must speed up the adoption of new data protection strategies and tactics as part of their modernization efforts.

Why now? The threat is real. The AES 256 encryption schemes used in most government and enterprise systems are ripe for decryption by nation states like China. Legacy data monitoring and management tools joined by swivel chairs do not adequately address governments’ current or future data security, resilience, and portability needs. Nor do they provide visibility and control across the entire data ecosystem.

Legacy backup/recovery, SIEM, ... Read more

Introduction

In this increasingly digital world, data loss can have devastating consequences for organizations. This ranges everything from outages and natural disasters to cyberattacks, and can result in inaccessible systems and lost data. These disruptions can result in significant operational disruption, financial losses, legal repercussions, and irreparable damage to reputation and customer trust.

Cyberattacks pose a significant risk for organizations of all sizes and industries. Now, organizations not only need to enhance their cyber defenses, they have to focus on proactively improving their recovery plans and procedures too. According to the Veeam 2024 Ransomware Trends report, 63% of organizations restored backups directly back into their production environment without employing some type of quarantine or scanning method ...

When faced with cloud-first approaches to data security, organizations often find that their existing tools fail to integrate with the cloud, landing them with bill shock, cyberthreats, and other surprises. Some just deal with it, while others reluctantly turn to multiple-point products (and the management nightmare that comes with them). But it doesn't have to be that way. Veeam empowers organizations with the best of both worlds — native data protection that’s built for specific environments, all wrapped up under a single, easy-to-manage platform and license that is platform agnostic and never boxes the organization in. This creates an ideal opportunity for Veeam partners and customers to work together to see the value of hybrid cloud data protection. Read more

According to the 2024 Data Protection Trends Report, 74% of businesses rely on third-party solutions to protect their Microsoft 365 data. Only 26% utilize Microsoft’s built-in features, such as legal hold or the recycle bin, and many, unfortunately, do not protect their data at all. This gap presents managed service providers (MSPs) with a significant opportunity to capture a growing market.

As an MSP deciding whether to build or buy a managed Microsoft 365 backup solution, you should weigh several important factors. Developing a custom solution often involves significant upfront investments in software, hardware, and ongoing maintenance. In contrast, SaaS-based backup and recovery solutions require lower initial investment, minimal configuration, and offer effortless scalability with a quick time to market. Depending ... Read more
