Stay ahead of ransomware and bad actors. Kate Mollett of Commvault Africa tells how ~
Data is arguably the most important business asset today, and it is also the chief target of ransomware, which, along with other cybercrime activities, is trending upward at an alarming rate.Faced with significant emerging challenges and increasingly advanced threat vectors, data protection has never been more important, but by the same token, digital transformation must be prioritised, and business agility needs to be preserved at all costs.
However, these issues are compounded by constrained resources and a growing skills gap within digital transformation as a whole, and particularly in the cybersecurity space. Data is increasingly spread across every application and device, both on premise and in the cloud, and this multigenerational data sprawl is challenging to manage and safeguard, especially with a hybrid cloud strategy.
Often, however, by the time a ransomware attack is discovered, it is already too late – it has infiltrated an organisation’s network, possibly weeks or even months ago, and the damage has already been done. It has therefore become essential to adopt a more proactive approach to threat detection to enable early warning ransomware detection.
