Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated. It is not a matter of “if” but “when” you will face such an attack.

Cyber threats do not cause mere thousands of dollars of loss—the damage is in the trillions of dollars. Accenture forecasts more than five trillion dollars of global value at risk over the next five years.

Attacks are virtually nonstop, and the cost per attack continues to increase. While there is a common misconception that only certain sized businesses or industries are attacked, the reality is that no enterprise is immune. Bad actors target businesses of all sizes and across all industries.

Regardless of the industry, be it healthcare, financial services, or local, state, or national governments, every business is a data-driven enterprise today. This scenario presents ample opportunity for criminals using modern tools and tactics to leverage this data for various purposes or to destroy and ransom it for some agenda or benefit. According to Accenture, 68 percent of business leaders state that their cyber security risks are increasing.

The modern threat of cyberattacks and the importance of maintaining the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of data requires modern solutions and strategies to protect vital data and systems.

Because having a cyber resilience strategy is becoming a mandate for all business and government leaders, this strategy can be seen as a competitive advantage in today’s data-driven world.

We found that a combination of Dell EMC products integrated into a solution such as a Cyber Recovery appliance can combat an attack to the on-premises environment and recover critical business applications best. This solution includes a combination of backup management, target storage, networking, a recovery environment, and recommendation for a firewall or a data diode.
