THE BEST PRACTICE
APPROACH TO DATA
PROTECTION FOR MODERN
ORGANISATIONS
Organisations which do not employ robust data protection
schemes put themselves at serious risk of suffering a data
breach and causing potentially fatal damage to the business.
Florian Malecki, International Product Marketing Senior Director
of StorageCraft, explains how organisations can better protect
themselves by assessing and testing their recovery plans for
ransomware prevention.
WWhy is constant data availability so
crucial for modern organisations?
Data is the lifeblood of any modern
organisation. It provides the foundation
for understanding where a business is
positioned and is essential to analysing
customer behaviour, navigating markets
and assessing a business’ performance.
Many successful business leaders are
dependent on the insight provided by data
to make informed decisions about the
business’ future.
If the data is breached, subject to a
ransomware attack or unavailable for a given
period of time, it can prove catastrophic to
a business. Lack of access to critical data
can lead to malfunctions across the entire
business, from significant revenue loss as
a result of system downtime, to remote
workers being unable to access shared files.
Unquestionably, the constant availability of
data is fundamental to the longevity and
success of any modern organisation.
What is driving the need for
businesses to re-assess data
protection strategies?
Companies are generating oceans of data –
and not all of that data is equally important
to their function. Organisations that know
this and know which pieces of data are more
