Organizations today face mounting pressure to ensure always-on business operations in an environment where cyberattacks are inevitable. From exponential data growth to increasingly sophisticated threats, traditional backup and disaster recovery approaches are no longer sufficient. As the volume and value of data continue to climb, the need for a more robust, performance-driven cyber resilience strategy has become urgent.
To minimize disruption and preserve critical operations, IT teams must evolve beyond reactive models and adopt a modern data protection architecture that is secure, scalable, and recovery-optimized. This includes leveraging high-performance all-flash storage, integrating immutable backup techniques, and using intelligent tiered storage solutions across disk, tape, and object storage. Flexible deployment models and continuous validation are also essential to meet shifting demands.
In our latest market brief, Modern Data Protection for Modern Threats: A Strategic Blueprint for Cyber Resilience, written in collaboration with Quantum, Futurum Research outlines how organizations can reframe their approach to data protection to proactively defend against and recover from cyber incidents. The report offers strategic guidance for security-conscious IT leaders seeking to modernize their infrastructure and elevate cyber resilience.
