New report from Commvault and Futurum shows organizations rallying around AI to counter AI-driven threats in 2024<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TINTON FALLS, NJ \u2014 January 25, 2024 \u2014<\/strong> Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for hybrid cloud organizations, today released a new report that found the traditional silos between ITOps and security teams are beginning to break down, as organizations realize the importance of increased collaboration to combat the onslaught of more sophisticated cyber attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioned in partnership with The Futurum Group, the report, \u201cOvercoming Data Protection Fragmentation for Cyber-Resiliency,\u201d<\/a> surveyed over 200 C-Suite and senior-level IT executives (more than half of which were CIOs, CSOs, and CISOs) in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific regarding their cyber resilience positions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, nearly all (99%) respondents indicated that the relationship between ITOps and security has grown more connected over the past 12 months. For those who described the relationship between ITOps and security as \u201cconnected,\u201d 64% stated they now have shared goals for maintaining the company\u2019s security and 70% stated they have joint processes and procedures in place for daily operations. However, there is still work to do. For example, only 48% stated they have established joint processes and procedures in place to mitigate or recover from an incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSynergies between ITOps, security teams and the C-suite has never been more crucial as cyber criminals are deploying more sophisticated attacks powered by AI,” said Javier Dominguez, Chief Information Security Officer, Commvault. \u201cBut, with 19 cyber attacks every second, breaches are inevitable. It\u2019s critical that ITOps and security teams jointly think about recovery as part of an end-to-end security practice tied to the NIST framework.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using AI to Advance Security <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

AI is expected to be a major theme in 2024 with more than two-thirds (68%) of respondents indicating the technology will boost their security efforts by identifying and responding to threats more quickly and accurately. Respondents identified several ways AI could improve their organization\u2019s security posture, including: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
