Summary
Dave Russell, Head of Strategy at Veeam, highlights the dangerously lax approach many organisations have towards data resilience, especially in an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated. Despite heightened awareness, many businesses are still woefully unprepared for potential data breaches. A report co-authored by Veeam and McKinsey reveals alarming findings: while 69% of companies experienced cyberattacks over the past year, 74% failed to meet data resilience benchmarks. Awareness is great, but without action, it’s just noise.
Key Points
- Awareness of data resilience issues is rising, but preparedness remains low.
- Many organisations self-reported gaps in vital resilience areas, like “People and Processes”.
- Despite perceptions of decreasing cyberattacks, threats are evolving and intensifying.
- Regulatory pressures (NIS2 and DORA) are forcing organisations to reevaluate their resilience measures.
- Companies can see up to 10% higher annual revenue growth with robust data resilience practices.
- Consistent stress testing of resilience measures is crucial to identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
