INFINIDAT kicks off cybersecurity awareness month​

​

As organizations globally continue to battle against cyberattacks, enterprise storage solutions provider Infinidat kicks off this October’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month with a campaign to raise awareness about the critical need for enterprises to increase their cyber resilience with next-generation data protection and recovery capabilities.

“As we embark into Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re excited to help enterprises better understand how to incorporate a cyber-centric, recovery-focused strategy with our InfiniSafe capabilities into their overall cybersecurity approach,” says Eric Herzog, Chief Marketing Officer, Infinidat.  “Cyberattacks have evolved to increasingly target enterprise storage infrastructure.  However, the combination of cyber resilience and cybersecurity closes the gap and vastly improves the ability to mitigate the impact of cyberattacks, especially ransomware.  Broader awareness of best practices in cyber resilience and cyber recovery will be one of the crowning achievements of this month dedicated to cybersecurity.”  

“Protecting data is one of the most critical actions an IT team must do in their data centre today, and expectations for restoring data and backing up data at multi-petabyte scale have changed.  IT teams need to increase next-generation data protection capabilities.  There needs to be data integrity and high reliability with 100% availability, which is what Infinidat provides,” continues Herzog.  “Best practices require an enterprise to ensure data validity and near-instantaneous recovery of primary storage and backup repositories, regardless of the size.  This accelerates digital disaster recovery when a cyberattack happens.”

“Cybersecurity is established as a board-level priority. Given that, it is the data that attackers are after, CIOs and CISOs have begun to critically evaluate the cyber resilience of their organization’s enterprise storage implementations,” adds Krista Macomber, Research Director, Cybersecurity, The Futurum Group.  “The need for cyber resilience has established new table-stakes criteria within the storage infrastructure, which is why strategic planning for capabilities, like Infinidat’s InfiniSafe Automated Cyber Protection that helps to mitigate data loss and downtime resulting from a cyber incident, have become so critical.”

“We’re seeing a growing focus on cyber resilience and rapid recovery in enterprise data infrastructure, especially against threats like ransomware,” agrees Bob Elliott, Vice President Strategic Alliances, Mainline Information Systems.  “Adopting a recovery-first strategy helps protect businesses from massive cyberattacks.  As IT leaders recognize the importance of next-gen data protection, we expect increased adoption of these solutions.  In today’s security-driven landscape, boosting cyber resilience is essential for safeguarding storage systems.”

Throughout the month of October, Infinidat will be contributing to awareness-building efforts across its social media channels including X, LinkedIn and its blog about the emergence of cyber resilient storage as the last line of defense against ransomware and malware.
