How do you deal with data dispersion? As your organization’s business-critical data continually experiences compound growth, you may find that maintaining a sense of control over that data is nearly impossible, especially in the age of ransomware.
The most recent found that 76% of organizations suffered at least one ransomware attack last year. As the threat of cyberattacks increases, now is the time to identify any potential weaknesses in your data protection strategy — most importantly, before bad actors find them. As mentioned before, a pervasive data estate can certainly be a weakness, so how do you adequately scale a data protection strategy that evolves with your business?
