The attack surface for cyber threats is more extensive than ever before. With increased digitization and remote work, threat actors are now targeting applications and systems built using software from multiple cloud vendors – as well as on-premises hardware. Attacks themselves have become more complex as well, with attackers utilizing new methods to bring business to a halt, including targeting an organization’s backup data.

For organizations with multi-cloud and hybrid environments, data security is their responsibility under the shared responsibility model. Yet, that critical business data is spread out and difficult to manage and protect. Siloed infrastructure and security operations teams and tools lack the combined insights needed to not only respond to and monitor threats, but also recover data in an acceptable time frame according to business needs.

While infrastructure security is in place to protect networks, systems, and users, new cybersecurity risks call for an additional security layer. For protection across a vast threat landscape, the data itself must be made resilient with a secure approach to cyber recovery that goes beyond traditional data backups. For rapid recoverability, enterprises need a unified view of data risk and threat insights for visibility and control and cross-functional collaboration.
