When someone says, "data protection," one of the first things that comes to mind is backup. Whether we’re up against the ever-evolving threat of ransomware or dealing with the simple mistake of an employee clicking a malicious link, backups serve as a kind of magical rewind button. For many organizations, this is enough to meet their recovery point objectives (RPOs). Read more

Cloud platforms offer various native and free backup solutions, such as AWS Backup and Azure Backup.

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.
