Trends like digital transformation, work from anywhere (WFA), and the use of personal devices for work – all accelerated by the pandemic – are reshaping how businesses approach their network infrastructures. One of the top considerations is how to protect people, information, and devices against surging and ever-evolving cybersecurity threats in this new hybrid, highly distributed world.
Recently, backup and recovery provider, Veeam, announced version 12 (v12) of its Backup & Replication suite, along with a new platform approach that includes enhanced cyber resilience and support for hybrid cloud environments. Veeam also announced a new ransomware warranty, putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to keeping businesses running, even in the face of ransomware attacks.
An average enterprise-class organization has approximately 68,000 mobile devices in use, including laptops, phones, tablets, wearables, and many others. In the past year, more than one-third of IT operations’ time and cost was spent dealing with mobile devices. These staggering statistics are the reason why so many organizations struggle to manage their mobile fleet.
The cloud has become an important component of almost every organization’s business strategy. Companies rely on cloud computing to power modern applications and SaaS-based services to enable critical business functions. While most of the cloud providers have invested heavily in resilient operations, outages still occur from time to time.
The use of mobile devices in the workplace has grown in both scope and importance. A decade ago, smart phones and tablets augmented the way we work. Today, for many jobs, the mobile device has become the primary, if not only device, making them business critical.
