2021 Data Protection Report

The last year has affected IT, Digital Transformation, and data protection strategy … in ways never seen before.

In December 2020, an independent research firm completed a survey of 3,000 enterprises across 28 countries
on what their data protection challenges and goals were, regardless of what their current or future data protection
vendor choices were.

The research project was commissioned by Veeam and helmed by two former industry analysts with a combined
60-years of experience in the data protection industry. The results and insights from the survey, as well as Veeam’s
perspective, are both offered in this report.

How the 3Cs of data protection help your business

Relying on legacy backup or babysitting repetitive backup tasks is not the best use of IT’s time.

When resources are constrained or more business value could be created by freeing up time, adopting the 3Cs approach can be a game-changer for British firms.

Check out this infographic from Veeam Software to see how the 3Cs approach can benefit your firm, and how to implement it.

Why cybersecurity always requires a layered approach

Ransomware is an increasingly complex challenge for IT departments to solve. With attacks doubling in the last year in the UK alone, there is still clearly a huge amount of work to do until organisations can consider themselves secure – even with the most robust backup strategies in place.

The need for a layered approach

Veeam Software works with partners such as Blocky for Veeam to provide customers with a multi-layered approach to defend customers against ransomware.

During a keynote at the The Channel Company NexGen+ Conference 2021, John Alexander, Veeam Cloud and Service Provider aggregation manager, stressed that Veeam recognises the importance of working with partners in the cybersecurity realm because data recovery and cybersecurity go hand-in-hand.

A last line of defence

In a recent article for CRN, senior editor Gina Narcisi highlights key points from the session where John added that:

“To address ransomware we have to go down through the layers, working with multiple partners to provide a comprehensive solution. With data protection as the last line of defense, it‘s critical that businesses and partners have confidence in that solution.”

A weak point exists because Veeam Software backups stored locally on Microsoft environments lack any native immutability for Veeam Backup and Disaster Recovery volumes.

To close this gap, Blocky for Veeam provides immutable Veeam Backup and Disaster Recovery volumes using application fingerprinting technology. This represents a vital security layer for all Microsoft Windows based Veeam Software installations.
