The CISOs Guide To Storage & Backup Cyber Resiliency
Solutions Review, Friday, September 8,2023
CISOs rely on information from across the organization about security, particularly from the various IT departments. Unfortunately, the information being fed to CISOs about the state of cybersecurity risk is incomplete.
There is a blind spot present - a gaping hole. Data about the security posture of their storage and backup systems is either woefully deficient or missing entirely.
That is one of the reasons why CISOs set strategy and approve the procurement of solutions to keep data and systems safe, yet the organization continues to suffer from breaches and attacks. Despite implementing vulnerability management, extended detection and response (XDR), threat monitoring, security information and event management (SIEM), and other technologies, they always seem to be one step behind the cybercriminal fraternity. That state of affairs is likely to remain until the inherent risk posed by vulnerable storage and backup systems is addressed.
