Veritas Technologies, which is partnered with Nexio in South Africa, has published its white paper titled \u201cRansomware Resiliency with the Veritas Enterprise Data Services Platform\u201d.<\/p>\n
This whitepaper details research conducted by Wakefield Research and commissioned by Veritas Technologies.<\/p>\n
It investigates how resiliency planning has failed to keep up with digital transformation, particularly in the context of how digital transformation has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
The research stated that while enterprises have found digital platforms like the cloud easy to adopt, it has been far more difficult to implement resiliency on these platforms.<\/p>\n
It is therefore important that South African enterprises work with IT solutions providers like Nexio who can offer them comprehensive business resiliency in the form of Veritas\u2019s range of products.<\/p>\n
The research shows that enterprises have adopted more cloud platforms, which in turn has added to their IT complexity.<\/p>\n
The average South African enterprises is using eight different cloud services, and the most common way to store data and host applications is an equal mix of on-premises and public cloud platforms.<\/p>\n
As a result of this complexity, 81% of South African respondents in the research believe their enterprise\u2019s security measures are not sufficient.<\/p>\n
Over half of South African respondents also believe it would take their enterprises at least five days to fully recover from a ransomware attack, while 9% (the most of any country surveyed) believed they wouldn\u2019t be able to fully recover at all.<\/p>\n
Additionally, only 11% of South African companies have the recommended three copies of their data \u2013 including at least one offsite and offline.<\/p>\n
