From Breach Recovery To AI-Powered Resilience
The Futurum Group, Monday, January 8th, 2024
In 2023, the ongoing onslaught of cyberattacks solidified data protection as a board-level priority for organizations of all sizes, across all industries and regions. Looking ahead into 2024, this cyber-resiliency-driven trend will continue, with added nuances including increasing utilization of AI.
2023 Recap
Arguably most predominantly, 2023 saw an emphasis on the role that data protection plays in cyber-resiliency. The ability to recover is critical, but data protection also plays an important role in other areas of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework for cyber-recovery, including the ability to detect that an attack is occurring.
There has been a surge in interest in creating a backup storage environment that is air-gapped, or otherwise isolated from, production systems and the core backup environment. This includes using cloud-hosted data vaults, provided appropriate controls such as the ability to control the vaulting window are included.
