Unlocking Cyber Resilience ExcellenceThe customers we work with, every day have a common context: It’s a cloud-first world, and that brings along a daunting set of challenges. First and foremost, ransomware is everywhere, and it costs organizations. Second, attackers know that your backups are often your last line of defense, so they try to take those out in addition to production systems. Third, the complexities of hybrid and cloud infrastructures leave room for human error, with 23% of cloud security issues being the result of misconfigurations. And finally, the average time for an organization to recover from an attack is 24 days, far too long for most. It’s no wonder then that conversations with our customers revolve around resilience. How do they stay resilient, fight through attacks and outages, and continuously deliver on their missions? Is Commvault and Red Hat OpenShift part of this conversation? Regional Director, CEE, CommVault |
