Cyber and ransomware attacks are rising, but that’s not the only risk. Far too often, a company thinks data is secure, backed up, and recoverable \u2014 when it’s not. On top of that, organizations are creating unfathomable amounts of data distributed across clouds, regions, applications, and partners. This brings a complexity that poses a significant challenge to ensuring cyber resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post will guide you in safeguarding your company’s data across multiple clouds. We will cover topics such as avoiding bandwidth constraints during backup, implementing air gap ransomware protection, having the right cyber resilience plan, and making decisions in partnership with the broader business. We will also discuss the importance of staying alert with a multilayered approach to detection and response and having visibility into your cloud environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid Bandwidth Constraints During Backup  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Bandwidth constraints can be a significant challenge when backing up data to the cloud. Traditional backup methods can consume a large amount of bandwidth, slowing down other applications, and impacting productivity. However, there are several ways to avoid bandwidth constraints during backup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One effective way to reduce bandwidth consumption is to use cyber resilience and data protection solutions with advanced deduplication and compression technology. These solutions can decrease the size of the data before it is sent across the network, which can significantly reduce bandwidth usage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re running a legacy backup product, this is one big reason to modernize your solution. Many legacy products need built-in deduplication and compression features, which can significantly slow down your backups. By modernizing your solution, you can take advantage of these features and improve your backup performance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you research different backup solutions, select a provider with proven network optimization as part of the underlying technology. Some solutions may offer bandwidth optimization but fail to deliver on this promise. Make sure to test the solution before you purchase it to ensure that it meets your needs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implement Air Gap Ransomware Protection <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A cyberattack has hit you \u2014 now what? Air gap ransomware protection safeguards your company\u2019s data across multiple clouds. SaaS-delivered protection can create secondary data copies in resilient, immutable, and isolated cloud storage. This approach ensures that data remains unchangeable, isolated, and swiftly retrievable in the unfortunate event of a ransomware attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air gap ransomware protection provides an additional layer of security by creating a physical or logical separation between production data and backup data. This makes it more difficult for ransomware to spread to backups and ensures a clean copy of data is available for recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air gap ransomware protection is typically delivered as a SaaS solution that can protect both on-premises and multi-cloud data. This makes it a convenient and cost-effective way to protect your data from ransomware attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
