Dell Technologies 2021 Global Data Protection Index (2021 Global Data Protection Index or GDPI) survey reveals that businesses are facing several data protection challenges posed by ransomware attacks. Ongoing software and adoption of emerging technologies such as cloud-based applications, including Kubernetes Containers and AI.
This is in line with a recent survey from IDC that one in three organizations worldwide have experienced a ransomware attack or vulnerability. that blocked access to work systems or data within the previous 12 months in which to deal with these growing threats And it seems to be a difficult problem to avoid.
Dell Technologies has introduced software and new services to accelerate the availability of backups on virtual machines or VMs and simplify management of large data sets. It also helps maintain business continuity. It also helps to reduce daily cyber recovery operations.
Noppadon Panyathipat, Managing Director of Thailand, Dell Technologies said, “In an era of increasing cyber threats, We understand that the stakes are higher. And the complexity has increased more than before. We continually work with customers across the region to tackle increasingly challenging challenges. By implementing an overall cybersecurity strategy with data protection. This reduces the risk and ensures the flexibility to respond in the event of a ransomware attack. or other cyber threats
New GDPI study reveals growing complexity in data protection
The Dell Technologies GDPI 2021 survey of 1,000 IT decision makers worldwide, 250 of them from Asia-Pacific and Japan (Australia, India, Japan, Singapore and South Korea) shows that many organizations are battling against overthrows. Continued data growth and the increasing complexity of data protection.
The study found that organizations around the world are managing more than 10 times the amount of data traffic from the previous five years, from 1.45 petabytes in 2016 to 14.6 petabytes in 2021.
Additionally, 82 percent of respondents globally and 72 percent in Asia-Pacific and Japan. There is concern that existing enterprise data protection solutions will not be able to meet all future business challenges. Of these concerns, 33 percent of organizations globally and 38 percent in Asia-Pacific. Data loss was reported in the past year, and 45 percent of organizations worldwide and 42 percent in Asia-Pacific. Experienced with unplanned system downtime
The GDPI study also includes the following points:
- 62 percent globally and 68% from Asia-Pacific and Japan. Concerned that existing data protection measures may not be sufficient to cope with malware attacks and ransomware, while 74 percent globally and 72 percent from Asia-Pacific and Japan. Agreed that the growth rate of the work-from-home workforce has increased. This increases the risk of data loss from both malware and ransomware threats.
- 67% globally and 67% from Asia-Pacific and Japan. Not confident that all business-critical data can be recovered. In the event of a catastrophic cyber attack or lost data
- 63 percent globally and 64 percent from Asia-Pacific and Japan. believe that technology is emerging Such as cloud-based applications, Kubernetes Containers combine AI and machine learning. This creates a data protection risk. And the lack of data protection solutions for emerging technologies is one of the top three data protection challenges for enterprises.
- The average cost of data loss within the past 12 months is four times higher for organizations using multivendor data protection solutions. Compared to an organization that uses a single vendor approach
new software presentation and management services are as follows
