Like their global counterparts, many UAE organizations rely heavily on backup and recovery tools available from their public cloud service provider. These tools, while functional in scope and cost-effective at the outset, offer little more than a basic level of visibility, support and protection against the volume and complexity of ransomware attacks, data theft and application outages that occur in the cloud. Consequently, organizations are placing their operations – and their customers – at serious risk.
Until these organizations reassess their reliance on CSP backup solutions and pivot to more robust third-party protection, they remain vulnerable to costly assaults on their business that inevitably cause permanent data loss, significant downtime, declines in revenue and compliance issues – all of which result in irreparable damage to their reputation.
