What’s storage’s role in cyber resilience?

Data’s role as a transformational business asset continues to grow. This article helps you understand its value further, and some insights in how to protect it.

Thanks to increasing investments in application development; modern DevOps practices; and heightened business intelligence, analytics, and machine learning demands, nearly all businesses are accelerating data creation and usage. They are also scaling the number of locations that leverage data. This proliferation of data combined with mounting pressure to accelerate operations has led to an increase in the complexity of both IT infrastructure and IT operations.

Such factors put organisations and their infrastructures at great risk of experiencing malicious attacks, human error, and negligent behaviour. Unfortunately, legacy strategies cannot adequately ensure that business operations will continue during and after these types of incidents. Companies can try to weave together capabilities in an attempt to prevent attacks and other breaches, but functional gaps, poor integration, and management complexity make meeting security objectives time-consuming and difficult.

Changing organisational mindsets from prevention to incident preparation—e.g., implementing storage solutions with built-in cyber resilience—is key to safeguarding critical data assets and being able to quickly respond to and recover from ransomware and other cyberattacks.

How resilient is your data strategy?

Every business is facing pressure to optimise IT and address transformation. But with the rapid rise of ransomware and other cyberattacks, you can’t afford to sacrifice security as you address these challenges.

New IBM FlashSystem redefines cyber resilience

IBM FlashSystem is already the most trusted data platform. Now FlashSystem has redefined cyber resilience, so you can:

  • Recover in hours not days – with flash storage backups that ensure continuity of operations
  • Detect attacks early to minimise the damage – with IBM FlashSystem Cyber Vault
  • Create immutable, isolated backups – on systems from multiple vendors

All this is in addition to industry-leading performance with microsecond latency, plus data reduction and compression that provide cost-efficiency at the core.
