\"StudySecure multi-cloud data platform provider, Datrium,<\/a> has released<\/a> the findings of its industry report on the <\/span>State of Enterprise Data Resiliency and Disaster Recovery 2019. <\/span><\/i><\/a>This study evaluates how organizations are implementing disaster recovery to protect their data. The results suggest that enterprises are becoming more concerned about the threat of disaster as a result of human error, ransomware, power failure, and natural disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n

The larger threat of ransomware is especially concerning for the enterprise data center, as nearly 90 percent of businesses consider ransomware a critical threat to their organization, and this is driving the need for disaster recovery (DR). Additionally, research from Datrium found that the public cloud is being considered as a disaster recovery site more often. The cloud provides greater ease of use, as well as cost-efficient DR, solving a range of pain points that are holding organizations back from responding to DR events.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>State of Enterprise Data Resiliency and Disaster Recovery 2019 <\/span><\/i>study was developed to determine what DR solutions organizations are currently using, their confidence in those solutions, and how effective the solutions are at enabling enterprises to return to normal operations after a disaster.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a press statement, CEO of Datrium, Tim Page said, \u201cthis research confirms that ransomware is one of the biggest concerns for IT managers today. This threat is significantly driving people to reevaluate their DR plans. It\u2019s no surprise that more than 88 percent of respondents said they\u2019d use the public cloud for their DR site if they could pay for it only when they need to test or run their DR plans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ransomware is a Big Threat to the Enterprise Data Center<\/b><\/p>\n

The data center must be protected from disaster or deliberate attacks. Approximately half (50.4 percent) of all businesses surveyed have recently experienced a DR event, with ransomware reported as the primary cause.<\/span><\/p>\n
