Innovative partnership delivers advanced storage solutions, ensuring compliance and efficiency in critical medical fields

New York, NY – July 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — StorONE, the only vendor providing all enterprise storage use cases on ONE Storage Platform, and Accessium Group, a premier healthcare consulting firm specializing in IT services, today announced their collaboration to deliver high capacity, high performance, HIPAA-compliant storage solutions to the healthcare market. This partnership has successfully enhanced data management capabilities in critical medical fields such as radiology, cardiology, pathology, neurology, and ophthalmology.

Accessium’s comprehensive healthcare consulting services—ranging from onsite support and outsourced solutions to assessments, audits, cybersecurity, and remote assistance—are now empowered by StorONE’s state-of-the-art storage technology. Together, they provide healthcare providers with efficient, secure, and scalable data storage solutions that comply with HIPAA regulations, ensuring the highest standards of patient data protection.

“There is a measure of genius here I have not found in any other healthcare IT company,” said Kenneth Pearson, MD., of Kaleida Healthcare. “They are key partners in our day-to-day activities offering critical input for our ever-growing organizational needs.”

StorONE’s high-performance storage solutions, powered by cutting-edge technologies like NVMe and advanced tiering algorithms, ensure lightning-fast access to medical images, reducing retrieval times, enhancing data access speeds, and minimizing latency issues. These improvements are critical for timely diagnostics and treatment.

“With its vast stores of sensitive data and the need to be up and available for patients 24×7, the healthcare sector continues to be one of the most attractive targets for cyber attacks. Additionally, it is critical to have the most recent patient data at hand at any time. That is why it is imperative for healthcare providers to adopt the most advanced and comprehensive storage solutions to house and safeguard this information,” said Ryan Erwin, CEO, Accessium. “The StorONE platform provides it all – ready access to data and robust security. With StorONE, Accessium can provide access to the highest standards of privacy and trust that patients rightfully expect and deserve.”

Additionally, StorONE has reinforced its support for HIPAA with the latest version of its S1 software. This version offers an enhanced set of security features that act as the last line of defense in the event of a cyberattack in a healthcare setting. Key features include:

• Auto-Tiering, dynamically transferring sensitive data for optimal utilization
• Lockable and Immutable Snapshots that ensure the integrity and consistency of data, helping healthcare organizations meet regulatory requirements for data retention and protection
• Ransomware and Rapid Recovery, providing well-defined procedures and tools to detect, respond to, and recover from ransomware attacks
• Multi-Admin Approval: Ensures multiple admins and consensus decision-making to prevent unauthorized access, with data security managed at the storage layer
• Anomaly Detection and Audit Logs: Identifies security threats, system malfunctions, and other irregularities, essential for robust cybersecurity

“As a former CIO, I’ve been on the front line in remediating three global corporate cyberattacks and my experience has been that the road to recovery is full of potholes. Today, with the ever-increasing frequency of cyberattacks that deny access to data, maintaining frequent backups and robust recovery capabilities is an absolute imperative,” said Ken Brower, CEO, KJB Consulting Group. “A comprehensive data backup plan, as required by HIPAA’s Security Rule, should include disaster recovery, emergency operations, critical data analysis, and periodic testing. StorONE supports this level of back up and response and provides these vital actions for safeguarding data and ensuring operational resilience against cyber threats.”

“We are proud to highlight the success of our relationship with Accessium, which has assisted us in meeting the demanding storage needs of the healthcare industry,” said Gal Naor, CEO and Co-Founder of StorONE. “Our Enterprise Storage Platform is designed to support high capacity and performance, ensuring healthcare providers can manage their data with confidence and ease.”

The successful collaboration between StorONE and Accessium represents a significant advancement in healthcare data management, providing organizations with the tools they need to handle large volumes of sensitive medical data efficiently and securely. The focus on high capacity, high performance, and HIPAA-compliant storage solutions ensures that healthcare providers can deliver superior patient care while maintaining robust data integrity and security.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – July 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Keepit, a global provider of a comprehensive cloud backup and recovery platform, today released a survey conducted by Foundry, as well as a study based on in-depth interviews conducted by Keepit. Both reveal critical gaps in disaster recovery strategies and highlight the pressing need for enhanced data security measures.

In an evolving technological landscape, enterprise IT leaders are grappling with unprecedented challenges in data protection and governance, driven by the rapid adoption of cloud applications and generative AI.

The CISOs and CIOs interviewed by Keepit for the study: “The great balancing act: Cybersecurity leaders tackle rising pressures” spoke to the necessity of rising to the challenge by adopting a mindset of continuous improvement. They are building collaborative best practices, partnering to bring in needed expertise, and investing in data-centric solutions optimized for security and simplicity.

Data protection struggles amid cloud and AI expansion
Enterprise disaster recovery strategies, traditionally designed for on-premises IT infrastructure, are lagging behind the surge in cloud application usage and the integration of AI technologies. Foundry’s survey: “Can data protection keep pace with the shifting landscape?” underscores this trend. The respondents of the survey represent IT decision-makers from companies with over 1,000 global employees. While 70% of respondents report that their financial applications are covered by data protection strategies, a significant portion of other key systems and custom applications remain vulnerable.

Survey highlights

• Financial systems: 70% are covered by data protection strategies.
• E-commerce and HR Management Systems: 50% are covered.
• CRM and ERP systems: 48% and 42% respectively.
• Critical transaction-based systems, custom applications, and collaboration and productivity tools: Are lagging behind with only between a third and a quarter of systems covered.

“Anything related to finance is important, most people will agree. And it’s an obvious place to start when you map your critical systems and data. The survey shows that financial systems are by far the most incorporated in data protection strategies, and when you look at verticals, financial institutions are also a little more mature than others,” says Kim Larsen, CISO at Keepit, an industry professional with a background in advising public and private sector organizations in cyber security and cyber resilience.

Strategic gaps and vulnerabilities

The survey reveals that only half of the organizations have incorporated cloud-stored SaaS data into their disaster recovery plans. Another 40% plan to address this gap soon. A decision-maker participating in a recent Keepit CISO roundtable remarked, “We solved many of these challenges 10 to 15 years ago, but with the move to cloud, it’s like we’re starting from scratch again.”

The current state of data protection is also seen as a significant barrier to expanding the use of generative AI technologies.

Strategic gaps:

• Critical SaaS data applications: 50% of respondents have included cloud-stored data for critical SaaS applications in their disaster recovery plans, and 40% plan to do so.
• AI data protection: Nearly all organizations prioritize AI data protection, with 52% already implementing tools for chatbots and AI platforms and 43% considering them.

“Good data protection is essentially ‘data classification plus good recovery capabilities’: If you understand your data, and can recover uncorrupted versions of it fast, you have a solid foundation to ensure business continuity, compliance and recovery. But this is easier said than done: The complexity of implementing new initiatives, such as governance over data used by large language models (LLMs), and the need to balance conflicting IT demands, pose additional challenges for any industry,” adds Kim Larsen, CISO at Keepit.

Compliance and future-proofing
Compliance is a top concern for 73% of survey respondents heading into 2024, with data governance (53%) and enterprise backup and recovery (45%) also ranking high. Regulatory scrutiny is increasing globally, with mandates from agencies like the SEC in the US and the upcoming Digital Operational Resiliency Act (DORA) in the EU.

Compliance challenges:

• Regulatory mandates: New cybersecurity resilience requirements.
• Cybersecurity risks: Continued threats, notably ransomware.

“Cyber strategy must be perfectly aligned with the business to effectively support it. The more global an organization becomes, the more difficult this is – to align access, and comply with regulations. This is backed up in our study, where CISOs emphasized the need for a unified risk management strategy that aligns with regional regulatory requirements,” said Kim Larsen.

Organizational maturity and risk management
Keepit’s interviews with over 30 CISOs and CIOs reveal the importance of organizational maturity in handling data security. The variability in CISOs’ backgrounds and responsibilities was cited as a reason for the slow implementation of data-focused innovations.

Key findings:

• Cloud flexibility: 80% of organizations adopt a “cloud smart” approach, introducing new security and compliance challenges.
• Regulatory and expertise challenges: The rise of GenAI and the need for specialized knowledge in AI and cybersecurity.

“One thing stands out: Organizations have very different levels of maturity. A lot of the governance activities are so obvious, you would think everyone is doing them. But they aren’t. Classic difficulties include managing multiple security vendors, leading to gaps in protection. Another is circumstances – one CISO told us how he had experienced five major cyber events in the previous year, prompting a complete overhaul of their cyber response plan,” says Kim Larsen, CISO at Keepit.

Strategies for success
CISOs and CIOs are adopting continuous improvement mindsets, building collaborative best practices, and investing in data-centric solutions. Establishing effective data governance frameworks and engaging the board of directors are seen as crucial steps forward.

Strategic recommendations:

• Align with business objectives: Frame cybersecurity in the context of business goals.
• Translate technical concepts: Communicate in terms stakeholders understand.
• Demonstrate ROI: Highlight cost savings, risk reductions, and business benefits.
• Board engagement: Seek feedback and support from the board for cybersecurity initiatives.

“The conclusion is that data protection remains a cornerstone of organizational resilience in the face of growing technological advancements. As CISOs and CIOs navigate these challenges, their ability to enable and protect data-driven innovation will define their success. Robust data security and backup strategies are essential for balancing innovation and protection, ensuring that organizations can thrive in the digital age. Effective communication of cyber risks to stakeholders and demonstrating the ROI of cybersecurity initiatives are critical,” ends Kim Larsen.

Free Splunk extension enables monitoring of Veeam backup environments with detailed dashboards, reports and alerts, reducing organizational risk and ensuring business continuity when cyber-attacks occur

SEATTLE, WA – July 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Veeam® Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data Resilience, today announced a Splunk extension that allows Veeam Data Platform customers to monitor the health and security status of their Veeam backup infrastructure using Splunk capabilities. Free for enterprises with Veeam Data Platform Advanced or Premium licenses, the app enables Splunk customers to analyze Veeam events, monitor Veeam backup environments and provides access to alerts, dashboards and reports.

Seventy-six percent of organizations suffered a ransomware attack in the last year. Unfortunately, 93% of those attacks explicitly targeted an organization’s data backups. To reduce organizational risk and ensure business continuity when a cyber-attack occurs, it’s important to ensure an organization’s Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solution (like Splunk) catches cyberthreats in any and every part of their system, including backups. Now, with the Veeam App for Splunk, security professionals can monitor their Veeam backup environments in the same single pane of glass as their other source environments with detailed dashboards, reports, and alerts.

“Veeam is focused on powering data resilience for every customer and this includes tight integration with the leading security platforms,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam. “Now security professionals can use Splunk to closely monitor their Veeam backup environments through detailed dashboards, reports and alerts. Combatting cyber-attacks requires integration across your infrastructure, and the Veeam App for Splunk brings Veeam event data into Splunk, enabling customers to monitor security events like ransomware, accidental deletion, malware and other cyber threats using their current tools. It means enterprises can quickly and easily process vital monitoring and event data on their Veeam backup environments, in the same single pane of glass as other source environments they may be monitoring.”

The app integrates seamlessly with Splunk user roles and location management. This new Splunk App processes events sent by Veeam Backup & Replication™ to the syslog server and provides Splunk users with the following features:

• Built-in dashboards to monitor job statuses and security events on a daily basis
• Built-in reports and alerts
• Severity level management for events and alerts
• Multiple Veeam Backup & Replication servers support
• Multiple data source locations support
• Role-based permissions for locations
• App configuration backup

“In the constant fight against cyber-criminals and ransomware, it is key to “protect the protector,” which means securing the backup apparatus to make it impenetrable to hacking, adulteration, deletion, etc. There can be no recovery if there are no backups,” said Christophe Bertrand, Principal Analyst at SiliconANGLE Media, Inc. | theCUBE Research & Advisory. “This requires a robust set of tools and controls to deliver a truly secure backup infrastructure. This is why the addition of the Veeam App for Splunk to the already comprehensive set of tools Veeam offers is key. With robust monitoring and security features and full integration with Splunk user roles and location management, end-users will be able to deliver dashboards, alerts, and reports. With this new integration, we expect that Veeam users will not only improve their cyber-recovery posture but also be in a great position to deliver on cyber-recovery SLAs.”

Veeam App for Splunk supports Splunk Enterprise 9.1.0 and later and Splunk Cloud Platform 9.1.2308 and later, and is available now via Splunkbase at https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/7312. Veeam App for Splunk is free with a Veeam Data Platform Advanced or Premium license that includes syslog event forwarding support. For more information, visit https://www.veeam.com.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – July 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Clumio, a leader in data backup and recovery for critical cloud data, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Jillian Souza as Chief People Officer and Carol Hague as Vice President of Marketing, strengthening its executive team with their combined expertise.

Carol Hague, Vice President of Marketing

Jillian Souza joins Clumio from BigPanda, where she held multiple roles on the People and executive leadership team. With extensive experience in scaling organizations through acquisitions, IPOs, and other growth stages, Jillian’s proficiency in enhancing the employee experience and driving organizational effectiveness will be pivotal. Her previous roles at Blend and Pandora underscore her ability to manage hyper-growth environments and build robust HR strategies.

Jillian Souza, Chief People Officer

“I had the privilege of working with Jill for two years at BigPanda. While many companies and leaders claim their people matter, they often fail to invest in their development after hiring. Jill is different. She’s not just a people leader; she’s a vital member of the executive team,” said Rick Underwood, CEO of Clumio. “With her unique ability to both partner with and guide the executive team on talent decisions, Jill also serves as a trusted advisor to everyone in the company. I am excited about Jill’s leadership as we strive to make Clumio the world leader in Data Protection and Data Management for the Public Cloud.”

Carol Hague, the new Vice President of Marketing, brings over 20 years of marketing experience from leading IT and SaaS cloud companies, including Salesloft, Talend, and VMware. At VMware, she led the global campaigns organization, and her tenure at Box saw her contribute significantly to its transition from a pre-IPO company to a public entity. Carol’s passion for creating data-driven marketing strategies will drive Clumio’s go-to-market strategy and long-term growth.

“Carol understands what is required in the new world of B2B. Her innovative approach to demand generation, digital strategy, brand management, and customer engagement will allow the amazing things we are doing at Clumio to reach the rest of the world,” said Rick Underwood, CEO of Clumio. “Carol’s exceptional ability to build and inspire high-performing teams has been instrumental in driving marketing efforts at some of the most successful cloud companies. I’m excited to unlock the next phase of Clumio’s growth with her at the helm of our marketing engine.”

These appointments come at a time of significant momentum for Clumio. The company announced a $75M Series D funding round earlier this year led by Sutter Hill Ventures, with participation from Index Ventures, Altimeter Capital, and NewView Capital. The recent funding has accelerated innovation and market expansion for Clumio’s public cloud backup and recovery solutions. Clumio has experienced a 4X year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR), driven by enterprise customer acquisition, including notable companies such as Atlassian, LexisNexis, and Cava.

Strategic Move to Provide Customers with Pervasive Data Visibility and Enhanced Assessment, Security, Scalability, and Mobility as Panzura Drives into the Modern AI-Enabled Enterprise

News Summary: 

• Panzura has acquired Moonwalk Universal Inc. This strategic move will enhance Panzura’s file data management portfolio, providing customers with pervasive visibility over their data with seamless access, security, and scalability across hybrid-cloud environments.
• By integrating Moonwalk’s capabilities into its products and services, and expanding its offerings with novel solutions and options, Panzura aims to empower organizations to see and manage their data no matter where it lives, achieving greater flexibility and cost optimization.
• The acquisition will allow Panzura to address the complex needs of enterprises to manage their data in or out of the cloud with ease, simplify their IT landscape, and make their data and workloads more productive, cyber-resilient, and AI-ready.

DALLAS, TX – July 18, 2024 —— / BackupReview.info / — Panzura has announced the acquisition of Moonwalk Universal Inc., a provider of advanced data assessment, mobility, and storage optimization solutions. The strategic move will enhance Panzura’s data management portfolio, providing customers with pervasive visibility over their data with seamless access, security, and scalability across hybrid-cloud environments.

Moonwalk’s innovative technology enables organizations to efficiently manage file and object data across on-premises storage, public clouds, and hybrid infrastructures. By integrating Moonwalk’s capabilities into its existing products and services, and expanding its offerings with novel solutions and options, Panzura aims to empower organizations with visibility into their data no matter where it lives, achieving greater flexibility and cost optimization.

“When it comes to your data, you need to see more to do more,” said Dan Waldschmidt, CEO at Panzura, “We are thrilled to bring Moonwalk together with Panzura to help our customers achieve the visibility they need to do impossible things with their data. Leveraging our combined strengths will add even more fuel to Panzura’s next phase of growth and innovation.”

As organizations of all sizes increasingly adopt multi-cloud strategies, Panzura remains committed to delivering unparalleled value to its partners and customers. The acquisition, coupled with Panzura’s recent introduction of even greater cyber-resiliency capabilities, will allow the company to address the complex data management needs of enterprise organizations with scalability, security, and cost efficiency.

It will also enhance Panzura’s role in making data and workloads artificial intelligence (AI) ready, preparing data infrastructure for AI-driven insights and innovation, and helping customers harness the value of AI in their own environments.

“IT teams grapple with extraordinary challenges due to the vast amounts of data siloed in disparate storage across their organizations. Lack of visibility makes it difficult to understand that data’s content and purpose, who has access to it, and how it should be appropriately treated. The result is heightened compliance risk, security vulnerabilities, diminished efficiency, and poor data quality,” said Sundar Kanthadai, chief technology officer at Panzura.

Moonwalk’s expertise in intelligent data management solutions aligns perfectly with Panzura’s mission to simplify the IT landscape for customers and help them unlock the true value of their data assets as they become more productive, resilient, and future-ready.

• Complete Visibility and Access: Panzura’s global file system, combined with Moonwalk’s capabilities, will provide a unified view of data across distributed locations and cloud providers.

• Enhanced Data Mobility: Moonwalk’s patented technology allows seamless, non-disruptive movement of data between different storage tiers, optimizing performance and reducing costs.

• Security and Compliance: Panzura’s robust security features, coupled with Moonwalk’s data governance tools, ensure compliance with industry regulations and contractual mandates.

• Scalability and Cost Efficiency: Organizations can now scale their data infrastructure without compromising performance or incurring unnecessary expenses.

“Panzura is redefining how organizations manage and leverage their data,” said Mike Harvey, former co-founder of Moonwalk and now Senior Vice President, Technology, at Panzura. “We are committed to a smooth integration with Panzura and existing Moonwalk customers will continue to receive the highest level of uninterrupted support and service as a part of the Panzura family.”

Every organization now relies on data to run their business and make decisions up and down the value chain. In many cases, IT leaders and c-suite executives are recognizing that file data is more than a business asset – it is the business itself and every company is a data company. Managing that data is becoming exponentially more complex with the accelerating use of AI, the expanding threat surface, and the adoption of multiple cloud environments.

Panzura’s acquisition of Moonwalk will allow for the further expansion of best-of-breed solutions. These solutions will empower organizations to manage their data in or out of the cloud with ease and simplicity and increase Panzura’s global reach to support the needs of customers of all sizes and industries.

About Panzura
Panzura empowers today’s digital-first organizations to do impossible things with file data, making them more agile, efficient, and productive. They trust Panzura to help them consolidate dispersed data, see and manage data in and out of the cloud, make it more cyber-resilient and AI ready, and ensure it is available to people and processes exactly where and when it’s needed.

SAN JOSE, CA – July 18, 2024 —- / BackupReview.info / — Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security and management, announced today that energy provider Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) selected the company to modernize its data protection operations. With Cohesity, Phillips 66 eliminated redundant tools and solutions across its IT infrastructure, resulting in less time spent managing its data protection environment, increased data security, and cost-savings over a three-year period.

Previously, Phillips 66 relied on five disparate and siloed data protection tools in its environment. This forced backup teams to spend significant time managing these tools, creating inefficiencies, impacting productivity, and driving up cloud costs as the team managed different tools across cloud platforms. These siloed solutions hindered Phillips 66 from implementing the comprehensive security features it needed to future-proof its business and allow it to focus on value-driving activities.

“Our backup team was working around the clock to manage our data protection environment across several products,” said Rick Snell, Phillips 66 Digital Foundations and Enterprise Architecture manager. “Cohesity’s platform approach will reduce our management burden substantially, allowing our team to focus on moving our business forward instead of the tedious work of managing disparate systems. We have much more confidence in how we protect our data because of the advanced security capabilities Cohesity provides.”

After a competitive evaluation, Phillips 66 selected Cohesity DataProtect to consolidate its data protection into a single platform to reduce management overhead, secure its critical assets, and bring down its spending on cloud services. This will allow the company to drastically reduce the time spent managing different tools, allowing the backup team to refocus its efforts on other value-adding business activities.

“Global organizations like Phillips 66 need simplified strategies to protect their data against the explosive growth of ransomware and cyber attacks,” said Kit Beall, chief revenue officer, Cohesity. “Cohesity DataProtect is an all-encompassing backup and recovery solution, and we’re delighted to work with Phillips 66 to modernize their operations, reduce costs, and improve their security posture.”

New solution intelligently prioritizes critical risks, reveals unknown threats, and enables automated response controls

Minneapolis, MN — July 18, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Code42 Software, Inc., the leader in data loss and insider threat protection, today unveiled its Proactive Risk Identification and Severity Model (PRISM). PRISM further enhances Incydr™ data protection capabilities to prioritize and remediate the full spectrum of data risk.

According to the 2024 Data Exposure Report, insider-driven data incidents have risen by 28% from 2021 to today, yet 79% of cybersecurity leaders feel their teams have a shortage of skilled workers to address these threats. These findings demonstrate a clear need for tools that can save analysts time through stronger detection, prioritization, and automated handling of data loss events. PRISM supports security practitioners by automatically assessing event context – a task that would otherwise require analyst involvement – and automating response based on severity through its scoring system.

“The truth about insider-driven data loss is that security analysts spend the majority of their time triaging events that could have been handled through automation,” said Rob Juncker, CTO of Code42. “It’s more important than ever to help overburdened and under-resourced teams focus their attention on truly critical events that require analyst intervention. This takes an intelligent application of the context around an event. We developed PRISM to not only accurately prioritize event severity, but to also ensure practitioners can automate response to a wider range of risks in order to address data loss more comprehensively and with less effort.”

Through its PRISM system, Code42 offers a unique approach to data protection that is unparalleled in the market. It does not rely on policies and rulesets, which cause blindspots, nor does it over-prioritize any one piece of context – such as file source – the way some modernized data protection solutions do.

PRISM provides a manageable data protection workload for security analysts. The model analyzes 250+ risk indicators about data, users, and destinations to provide weighted severity scores. The result is an accurate, prioritized look at risk events – with only a fraction of a percent of events on average flagged as “critical” and more likely to require Security team attention. This ensures that security analysts can confidently identify the most important issues, investigate fewer events, and automate response controls to the majority of activity.

Availability
PRISM is currently available to all Code42 customers.

73% of Life Sciences companies turn to artificial intelligence (AI) to fill the cybersecurity skills gap

Minneapolis, MN — July 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Code42 Software, Inc., the leader in data loss and insider threat protection, today released its 2024 Annual Data Exposure Report (DER): Life Sciences Sector. The report highlights a significant trend: 73% of Life Sciences companies are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to address the cybersecurity skills gap, surpassing adoption rates in other industries.

Underresourced security teams are facing increasing insider-driven data loss events, which are exacerbated by emerging technologies like AI and Generative AI (GenAI). Leaked trade secrets or critical intellectual property (IP) – research data, customer lists, pricing decks, formulary plans, clinical trial data, and source code – can derail Life Sciences organizations. Data is the lifeblood of cutting-edge companies in this sector, and any leak or loss can result in lost opportunities, reputational damage, and even potential HIPAA violations.

“Life Sciences cybersecurity teams are walking a tightrope with AI,” said Joe Payne, President and CEO of Code42. “AI is a powerful ally in combating skill shortages and rising insider threats, while also paving new pathways for innovation. However, as quickly as teams are adopting this new technology, they must be just as quick to set guardrails for protecting IP. By adopting tools and programs to secure the usage of AI tools, teams in the Life Sciences can take advantage of cutting-edge technology while ensuring their data isn’t leaked through tools like ChatGPT.”

Key findings from the report include:

• • 78% of companies report an increase in time spent investigating data incidents year over year.

• • 83% of cybersecurity managers are looking to AI, and 92% to GenAI, specifically, to help them automate detection and response so that they can focus on higher-level strategic tasks.

• • 86% of cybersecurity leaders have admitted that the usage of AI tools does put their company at risk of data exfiltration.

• • 50% of data loss incidents are malicious, with risk severity evenly split between low, medium, and high.

• • Daily data security training has increased from 11% in 2021 to 27% in 2024.

• • 97% of Life Sciences organizations believe their data security training programs need improvement, with 48% calling for a complete overhaul.

The results reveal that the Life Sciences sector is at the forefront of artificial intelligence utilization, with AI tools presenting new opportunities for cybersecurity teams to enable automated detection and response, as well as freeing up the resources to concentrate on strategic tasks. To successfully harness the power of AI without inviting additional risks, organizations must implement robust solutions that detect, prioritize, and respond to incidents while minimizing overall insider-driven risk.

For the full report and methodology visit https://www.code42.com/resources/reports/2024-data-exposure-life-sciences.

Methodology
Code42 commissioned independent market research agency Vanson Bourne to conduct the Data Exposure Research. The 2024 study surveyed 700 respondents (300 cybersecurity practitioners, 200 cybersecurity managers and 200 cybersecurity leaders) from companies headquartered in the US from December 2023 to January 2024. These companies had 500 or more employees and were from a range of public and private sectors, including automotive and aerospace/manufacturing, business and professional services, energy, oil/gas and utilities, technology, and pharmaceutical and life sciences/biotechnology, among other sectors. Of those participants, 144 were part of the Life Sciences/biotechnology sector.

New Threat Hunting and Managed Data Detection and Response capabilities help businesses respond faster to cyber incidents

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – July 16, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Druva, the leading provider of data security, today announced new capabilities to help its customers accelerate the investigation and remediation of cyber threats. The new Threat Hunting capability empowers IT and security teams to search their global data footprint for indicators of compromise (IOCs). Druva is also announcing the expanded global availability of Managed Data Detection and Response (Managed DDR), a managed service that uses a combination of technology and human expertise to proactively monitor customer backups for faster detection of and response to threats.

While traditional security tools focus primarily on the perimeter and production environment, these tools don’t provide full-picture visibility into the data, which could lead to prolonged and incomplete digital forensics and incident analysis. Druva’s approach to leveraging data and insights across incident response addresses this gap and complements existing security strategies. With Druva, customers can accelerate incident response, minimize downtime, and prevent data loss.

“With today’s more advanced and persistent threats, we need to go beyond perimeter-based security. Cybersecurity needs to be complemented with the power of data to handle these risks,” said Jaspreet Singh, CEO and co-founder of Druva. “Druva’s 100% SaaS approach seamlessly consolidates and contextualizes data across all workloads, enabling customers to bolster cyber resilience and accelerate incident response.”

Threat Hunting for Indicators of Compromise
With new Threat Hunting capabilities for indicators of compromise (IOCs), Druva allows customers to more quickly understand the gestation, timeline, and impact of threats throughout their data environment.

Druva also empowers IT and security teams with contextual data insights throughout incident response (IR) workflows to understand, remediate, and recover from critical incidents. Key benefits to Druva’s approach include:

• Faster response: Druva’s granular logs of data changes and audit trails help IR teams to analyze incidents.
• Centralized threat hunting: Powered by rich metadata, Druva enables IR teams to identify and remediate IOCs, such as specific file extensions or file patterns, across the entire data estate.
• Cleaner recovery: Druva scans multiple backups to create a curated snapshot and identify the most recent, clean version of each file, minimizing data loss, ensuring secure recovery, and accelerating the recovery process.
• Enhanced forensics: With access to context-rich data, users can perform sensitive data analysis to understand if sensitive data has been compromised and if compliance regulations have been violated.

Fully Managed Data Detection and Response for Backup Environments
Threat actors are targeting backup environments with increasingly sophisticated attacks. With extensive experience and operational oversight, Druva can offer businesses the resources and expertise to understand, protect, and recover from threats to their backups with minimal downtime and data loss.

Today, Druva extends this expertise through the simplicity of Managed DDR to provide customers with an expert extension to their IR team. With Managed DDR, Druva delivers:

• 24x7x365 monitoring of backups for early threat detection.
• Expert analysis by Druva incident response to provide data insights for anomalous behavior.
• Pre-built response runbooks and automatic lockdown of backups to safeguard data.
• Expedited support and expert assistance to customer IR teams during cyber recovery.

With Druva, businesses can gain confidence throughout their IR workflows with access to a single source of truth and IR experts who can assist in incident remediation and recovery. Druva’s Managed DDR service is currently available to customers at no additional charge.

“Backups are the last line of defense. In the event they are compromised, organizations need to know they’re still able to recover,” said Phil Goodwin, Research Vice President at IDC. “Druva not only guarantees recovery, but they also complement existing security tools with its approach to data security. The Druva Data Security Cloud provides customers with the context-rich insights that security and IR teams need to quickly respond to and effectively remediate threats.”
