INFOGRAPHIC business success and the challenges of protecting it grow in complexity . More than two-thirds are turning to cloud-based services to protect essential data .
The Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2022 surveyed more than 3,000 IT decision makers and global enterprises to understand their data protection strategies for the next 12 months and beyond .
The largest of its kind , this study examines how organisations are preparing for the IT challenges they face , including huge growth in use of cloud services and cloud-native infrastructure , as well as the expanding cyberattack landscape and the steps they are taking to implement a modern data protection strategy that ensures Business Continuity .
“ Data growth over the past two years ( since the pandemic ) has more than doubled , in no small part to how we have embraced remote working and cloudbased services and so forth ,” said Anand Eswaran , Chief Executive Officer , Veeam . “ As data volumes have exploded , so too have the risks associated with data protection ; ransomware being a prime example .
This research shows that organisations recognise these challenges and are investing heavily , often due to having fallen short in delivering the protection users need .
“ Businesses are losing ground as modernisation of ‘ production ’ platforms is outpacing their modernisation of ‘ protection ’ methods and strategies . Data volumes and platform diversity will continue to rise , and the cyberthreat landscape will expand . So , CXOs must invest in a strategy that plugs the gaps they already have and keeps pace with rising data protection demands .” p
