Pure Storage, an IT pioneer that delivers Storage-as-a-Service in a multi-cloud world, has addressed the state of ransomware security among modern businesses, highlighting the importance of backup and recovery to build a comprehensive data protection strategy.
Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common in today’s digital world, presenting a frequent and expensive risk to businesses everywhere. In fact, Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that the global damage caused by ransomware could cost up to US$265 billion by 2031. While organisations have recognised the risks, there’s still a gap in understanding where current security measures are and where they should be.
“Faced with the increasing risk of attacks, I was looking to guarantee the protection of our data in terms of backups and against ransomware,” said Marc Duong, CISO-CIO, Solidéo (Société de Livraison des Ouvrages Olympiques). “I chose to protect them more efficiently by using storage technology rather than server and by taking snapshots very regularly with Pure.”
With its data protection portfolio – including Pure SafeMode on FlashArray and FlashBlade, Pure FlashRecover, powered by Cohesity, launched one year ago and Portworx PX-Backup – Pure helps organisations close this security gap, enabling global businesses to safeguard their data against loss, corruption and growing cybersecurity threats.
“Implementing a meaningful data protection strategy, taking a before, during and after approach to planning, is vital to running a successful business today,” said Paul Singh Ahuja, CTO, Security, Pure Storage. While having the proper precautions in place to prevent an attack is essential, it’s equally as critical that organisations plan for recovery. Pure’s solutions are uniquely positioned to help customers rapidly restore data, at scale, to avoid Business Continuity disruptions and negative financial impact.”
By leveraging Pure’s data protection solutions, global customers can truly secure their data and take advantage of a comprehensive data protection strategy. “With billions of dollars at stake and their reputations on the line if systems go down, our clients need reliable, secure data services,” added Jesse Bonserio, Senior Director of Engineering, Abacus Group. “That’s exactly what Pure Storage enables us to deliver, positioning us to build strong client relationships for the long term.”
