CXO research from Veeam has found that 86% of EMEA organizations have a protection gap between how much data they can afford to lose and how often IT systems are protected. This has risen by 14% in the past 12 months and indicates that while the criticality of data continues to soar, so do the challenges in protecting data to a satisfactory level. World Backup Day 2022, that was observed on March 31, is another reminder that as both the cyber threat landscape and IT environment complexity continue to increase, the need for robust data protection measures is more vital than ever. A solid backup, replication, and recovery plan is a key component of any Modern Data Protection strategy that ensures business continuity and the capacity to take immediate action.
