Part 1 of this two-part blog series focuses on why putting customer resiliency strategies in place is important. Part 2 will cover how you can implement these strategies easily and successfully. 

Ransomware along with other cyber attacks are a real threat to just about every customer enterprise regardless of size or industry. The potential devastation that can be felt by the impact of being unable to recover critical data and resume business operations after an attack can be paralyzing. Helping your customers protect themselves from this starts with you helping them to protect their data. 

Traditional backup and recovery approaches have been proven to be insufficient in fending off these ever-evolving threats. They are simply not equipped to minimize production network exposures and avoid the resulting negative business impacts. Why is this? The answer is simple in that they were not created for this purpose or with this level of functionality in mind. 

With the modern threat of cyber attacks and their increasing complexity, it becomes harder to stay one step ahead. As a matter of fact, many organizations accept that it is not a matter of “if”, but more so a matter of “when” they will experience a cyber attack. Combine this with the importance of maintaining the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data that already requires modern solutions and strategies to protect vital data and systems that live on the edge, in mobile, the core, the cloud or even multi-cloud – this requires a serious resiliency strategy.
