"Meeting the Challenges of Disaster Recovery"

"Data is widely considered to be one of an organization’s greatest assets, but in recent years, the need to access data at nearly any time of the day or night has grown from a wish-list item to a must-have reality. In fact, the health of your businesses depends on it. It’s not just internal users who demand constant access to data. Many organizations place a large percentage of their data in customer- and partner-facing line-of business applications. As a result, when a server goes down, it may not affect just your organization, but customer and partner organizations as well, with the potential result of both lost revenue and a diminished reputation. 

Massive increases in the volume of data being stored have caused backup windows to lengthen, often to the point where even the most efficiently organized backup window impinges on the beginning of a new day’s business operations. For companies with world-wide operations, even a two-hour backup window can cause trouble on the other side of the globe when clients or internal users are in the midst of their workdays. And when it’s time to carry out a recovery, uncertainties abound among IT administrators concerning how well their data protection solution will perform, particularly if they depend on tapes, with their inherently higher failure rates and higher costs."

Guide to Cloud Security Posture Management Tools

whitePaper | June 16, 2023

Good cloud security hygiene starts with complete visibility into the security and compliance posture of every resource you deploy into your cloud. It’s one thing to achieve this visibility in a single cloud environment—you can lean heavily on the native monitoring and auditing tools of your cloud provider, using third-party solutions to fill in gaps (e.g., threat detection)—but in a multi-cloud architecture, maintaining robust cloud security posture becomes exponentially more complex. It is much more difficult to achieve centralized visibility as well as consistently enforce policies and compliance rules within a multi-cloud environment. It’s also more complicated to detect threats and fix vulnerabilities quickly due to the sheer complexity of threats across distributed, multilayered architectures. You can address these challenges, though—and you need to, if you want to take advantage of multi-cloud architecture without compromising on security.
