In today’s fast-paced business landscape, organizations are increasingly relying on Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud infrastructure to stay competitive. However, as data spreads across multiple clouds and data centers, ensuring its security and availability becomes a challenge. Cloud providers recommend users take steps to protect their data, but the responsibility ultimately falls on organizations themselves. Failure to prioritize data resilience can have significant consequences, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, and costly downtime.

Doesn’t my cloud provider have this covered?

While cloud providers focus on maintaining and improving their services, they do not guarantee protection against data loss or corruption. It is crucial for organizations to independently safeguard their data. Unfortunately, many organizations neglect to implement data protection solutions for their cloud application workloads, creating a vulnerability that cybercriminals can exploit.

What’s the worst that could happen?

The costs of a data breach can be significant, with the average breach in the United States costing firms $9.44 million. Ransomware attacks have also increased, taking longer to identify and contain. Data loss can disrupt operations, damage reputation, and lead to costly recovery efforts.
