Creating a
Safe Place
for Data
As someone responsible for data security, you are all too aware of the increasing number of vulnerabilities affecting your business’s data.
Research has shown that cyber-attacks are now almost inevitable. Preparation is key. We outline the multiple layers of defense needed to minimize financial and operational disruption. Are you ready?
44.6%
Survey respondents whose organization had endured between one and five successful
cyber-attacks during the past year.
Hybrid cloud environments can create complications for cyber resilience; as legacy applications were not designed with distributed infrastructures in mind, nor for the sheer scale of the data being protected. This can lead to gaps in protection and sluggish backup and restore times as well as eye-watering management costs and compatibility issues.
46%
86%
Organizations that pay a ransom after an attack.
Organizations that suffered a successful ransomware attack in last 12 months failed to recover all their data after paying a ransom.
How can you create a safe place for your data, your business and your customers?
Creating flexible
cyber
resilience
Each business and its infrastructure is unique, and the best resilience strategy is not necessarily wholesale replacement but rather to add in solutions that integrate with what you already have, allowing you to create layers of protection, and ensuring no workload is left behind.
$9.44 million
Average cost of a data breach in the U.S. in 2022, up from $9.05 million in 2021. The global average cost per data breach was $4.35 million in 2022.
This holistic approach reduces the possibility of gaps that could be exploited by cyber-attacks, leaving you with the ability to quickly spot an attack, gauge its impact and deploy countermeasures, to minimize operational disruption, and speed up recovery.
Reducing the
attack
surface
It is critical that your organization’s attack surface is as limited as possible. Identifying and closing software and configuration vulnerabilities that could be exploited by ransomware has never been more important.
80%
Organizations that paid a ransom but will experience another ransomware attack.
The best solutions enable you to hide the size of certain storage blocks, make as few backup copies as possible, and obscure your mitigation strategy from threat actors, increasing the chances of a speedy recovery.
Truly simplified data protection solutions offer more granular data and repository control. This allows IT and security leaders to more easily meet compliance and regulatory demands while giving secure, ready access to approved users and applications.
Your solution must identify and secure the most sensitive information in your ecosystem and enable you to move copies freely between storage tiers, both public and private. It should give you the benefits of cloud while maintaining absolute control of your data in an on-premises environment.
Disaster
Recovery
In a time of tightening budgets, IT and security teams are being asked to do more with less. Many do not have the bandwidth to focus sufficiently on frequent recovery testing to prepare their organizations for the aftermath of an attack.
47%
Backups that require third-party tools.
There is a clear need to reduce gaps in recovery point and recovery time objectives (RPO/RTO) that can impact on business continuity, downtime, and data loss. Regulations for processes to keep critical business infrastructure running are now being mandated, with stringent penalties for falling short.
The best cyber-resiliency strategy enables you to safeguard and protect your critical data and applications, be ready for and detect attacks as soon as they happen. And, if all else fails, it can help you recover as quickly as possible.
£30 billion
Projected cost of ransomware globally for 2023.
Select the right partner and build your
Safe
Place
For many organizations, the bandwidth and expertise to facilitate this strategy is not available in-house. So, finding a partner to support you in meeting all resiliency requirements is vital.
With a global reputation for ensuring critical business outcomes and guaranteeing data availability, Hitachi Vantara will help you minimize operational disruption, gain flexible cyber resilience and simplified data protection, and give you business peace of mind.
