TO PROTECT DATA IN 2024 AFRICAN ENTERPRISES MUST EMBRACE RESILIENCE

The challenge with AI is that threats are getting harder to detect and plans in 2024 are not just about detection and prevention , but about recovery . The question becomes , can an organisation rapidly recover , not in weeks or months , but in hours , asks Kate Mollett at Commvault .

Data has become a core business asset , and protecting this asset from data loss is a strategic priority , especially as new threats are constantly emerging . The escalating sophistication of cyber threats will necessitate advancements in AI-powered data security technologies and strategies , and the ability to defend against the threat , protect critical information and recover rapidly from attack is paramount .

In 2024 , the ability to recognise and respond to cyber threats quickly will become a competitive differentiator , and companies that focus on cyber resilience , including data protection , data security , data intelligence and recovery , will have the upper hand .
AI is forcing CISOs and Chief Information Officers to think about planning in a different way in 2024 .
As the threat landscape continues to rapidly evolve , prompted in part by the onslaught of AI-fuelled attacks , organisations must understand how they can use AI to fight AI .
This includes deploying the latest technology to give users real-time threat analysis and report summaries that can automatically highlight detailed information about their cyber resiliency health , as well as real-time predictive threat analysis to find AI-driven ransomware .
The challenge with AI is that threats are getting harder to detect . As a result , plans in 2024 are not just about detection and prevention , but about recovery . The odds are that eventually , a bad actor will prevail . So , when that happens , the question becomes , can an organisation rapidly recover , and not in weeks or months , but in hours ?
