Whatever sort of disaster we’re talking about, if your backups are fried, you’re not going to recover

(2021/10/18)


Sponsored When you’re putting your enterprise security and data management strategy in place, should you worry more about ransomware or natural disasters?

Yes, of course, it’s a trick question. But while you can’t accurately predict when your facilities are likely to be hit by an earthquake, flood, or plague of locusts you can probably be assured that your systems are going to be constantly bombarded by cyberthreats, which increasingly means malware.

That’s why a zero trust approach to security is a given, as is a focus on how quickly you can recover your data if an attack does hit home, and that means immutable backups and rock solid data management.

But how does this all work in practice? You can take a deep dive with this upcoming webcast, [1]Zero Trust Data Management and Near-Zero RTOs for your VMs on October 27 at 5pm BST (9am PT).

Our own, utterly trustworthy Tim Phillips will be joined by Rubrik’s Levern Wilson to fill in the blanks about zero-trust architectures.

They’ll take you through the principles of protecting data across today’s modern, hybrid IT landscape, and drill down into the different recovery methods for virtual machines to achieve near-zero RTOs.

They’ll also explain how Rubrik’s own zero-trust architecture can help your enterprise implement cyber and operational resilience.

Joining us is simplicity itself. Just jump over to the registration page [2]here and drop in your details. We’ll update your calendar and nudge you on the day. Being hit by ransomware is practically a given these days, but having a crisis turn into a disaster isn’t.

Bill Gates is surfing the Internet, collecting the URLs of anti-Micrsoft
websites to send to the legal department for possible libel lawsuits. Suddenly
the devil appears, and says, "Bill, I've got a deal for you. I will turn
Microsoft into a complete software monopoly. Every computer will run Windows.
Every user will be forced to buy Microsoft software. The Justice Department
will look the other way. Everyone will love you. You only have to do one thing:
give me your soul." Bill Gates looks at him and replies, "Ok, sure. But what's
the catch?"
