FEATURE : DISASTER RECOVERY
Any outage or attack on your data could have serious consequences not just for the business , but for your end-users , customers or community . Here are best practices from Qumulo for massive-scale file data backup and security .
The old ‘ castle-and-moat ’ approach won ’ t work anymore : Only a holistic strategy can protect your file data infrastructure
The traditional ‘ castle and moat ’ mindset in cybersecurity – focusing on outside threats instead of inside threats – won ’ t work in today ’ s file data environment , because applications don ’ t exist in isolation . Only a comprehensive solution can completely protect an organization from increasingly sophisticated security threats like ransomware .
According to Gartner : “ By 2025 , at least 75 % of IT organizations will face one or more attacks , as freerein researchers document a dramatic increase in ransomware attacks during 2020 , pointing to sevenfold or higher rates of growth .”
Qumulo provides a rich set of data services that allow customers to implement a holistic defense strategy against all kinds of malware , including ransomware . It provides several technology advantages that minimize the risk surface to attackers , such as a locked-down Linux version , a user space application , and several advanced security features that target the key areas of prevention , detection and correction .
On average , every employee has access to nearly 11 million files , and both inside and outside threats from all environments have to be accounted for . With Qumulo Secure , organizations can benefit from a granular data access and management event stream in an industrystandard format that is supported by all major intrusion detection and monitoring systems .
