As a result, our editorial team aims to provide a summary of the top headlines from the last week in this space. Solutions Review editors will curate vendor product news, mergers and acquisitions, venture capital funding, talent acquisition, and other noteworthy storage and data protection news items.<\/p>\n For early access to all the expert insights published on Solutions Review<\/em>, join Insight Jam<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/span>, a community dedicated to enabling the human conversation on AI.<\/p>\n Arcserve \u2013 UDP 11 And ShadowProtect 8.0 Push Toward Simpler, AI-Aware Data Resilience Across Hybrid Estates<\/strong><\/p>\n Arcserve\u2019s latest releases underscore how quickly backup is becoming a full \u201cdata resilience\u201d layer rather than just insurance. Unified Data Protection (UDP) 11 adds AI-enabled risk insights and broader workload coverage to simplify protection across hybrid environments, while ShadowProtect 8.0 plus Cloud Cyber Resilient Storage give MSPs immutable, 3\u20112\u20111\u20111\u20110\u2011aligned backups for Hyper\u2011V, physical, and cloud workloads\u2014baked into a stack designed to deliver verified, ransomware\u2011resilient recovery, not just stored copies.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Arcserve UDP 11: simplifying data protection, strengthening recovery<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Arcserve ShadowProtect 8.0 with Cloud Cyber Resilient Storage<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n D\u0101STOR \u2013 \u201cRansom Immunity\u201d BaaS Shows How Storage, Backup, And Cyberstart Blurring Together<\/strong><\/p>\n D\u0101STOR\u2019s new partnership with Myota to enhance its Backup as a Service offering is a textbook example of cyberstorage eating classic backup. By integrating Myota\u2019s data\u2011shredding, distributed storage technology into its BaaS platform, D\u0101STOR is promising \u201cransom immunity\u201d\u2014immutable, scattered data shards that are useless to attackers, fast recovery, and better storage efficiency\u2014effectively turning backup targets into an active cyber\u2011resilience layer rather than a passive repository.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0D\u0101STOR enhances BaaS through Myota partnership<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Datadog \u2013 FedRAMP High Gives Public-Sector Buyers A Stronger Signal On Sensitive Data Handling<\/strong><\/p>\n Datadog\u2019s FedRAMP High certification is not this week\u2019s newest announcement, but it remains highly relevant context because it signals the company can support one of the U.S. government\u2019s strictest cloud security baselines for controlled unclassified information. For enterprises and agencies alike, that kind of certification is now part of the buying conversation around breach containment, monitoring, and secure handling of high-impact workloads\u2014not just a compliance badge to stick in the footer.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Datadog secures FedRAMP High certification<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n NetApp \u2013 Data Protection Is Being Baked Into Intelligent Data Infrastructure For AI, Not Bolted On<\/strong><\/p>\n NetApp\u2019s latest offerings and commentary underline that, in the AI era, cyber\u2011resilient storage and continuous data protection are core features of the data infrastructure, not separate products. Between its continuous data protection portfolio, BlueXP ransomware protection updates, and reference architectures for secure AI infrastructure with partners like Vultr, NetApp is pushing a model where snapshots, immutable copies, and multi\u2011site rollback are just \u201chow storage works,\u201d giving enterprises a unified way to defend, detect, and recover without designing bespoke protection schemes for each AI and analytics deployment.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0NetApp continuous data protection<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Building secure AI infrastructure with NetApp<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n StorONE \u2013 Modern Backup Storage Is Being Framed Less As Capacity And More As Ransomware Survival<\/strong><\/p>\n StorONE doesn\u2019t have a brand-new June 8\u201312 release in the results, but its backup-storage positioning is directly on theme for this week\u2019s issue: immutable, fast-recovery backup storage designed to blunt ransomware impact. StorONE\u2019s approach centers on ransomware\u2011aware backup targets, rapid ingest, automated tiering from flash to high-capacity disk, and instant-recovery potential from clustered standby systems\u2014exactly the kind of architecture buyers are now looking at when they realize \u201chaving backups\u201d and \u201crecovering cleanly under attack\u201d are not the same thing.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0StorONE and modern backup storage for ransomware resilience<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Zscaler \u2013 AI Security Report Shows The Data Protection Problem Is Now Flowing Straight Through AI Apps<\/strong><\/p>\n Zscaler\u2019s AI security findings remain one of the clearest data\u2011protection warnings in the market: enterprise AI usage is surging, and sensitive data is going with it. Zscaler reported a 91% year-over-year rise in enterprise AI and ML transactions across its platform, 18,033 TB of enterprise data transferred to AI\/ML apps, and 410 million DLP policy violations tied to ChatGPT alone, including attempts to share source code, Social Security numbers, and medical records\u2014turning AI access control into a frontline privacy and breach-prevention issue.<\/p>\n Read on for more\u2192\u00a0Zscaler 2026 AI Threat Report<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Solutions Review<\/em> is Getting Set to Host Object First for the Spotlight event: Assume Breach, Prepare for Recovery on May 21<\/strong><\/p>\n For this Solutions Spotlight event, the Solutions Review team has partnered with Object First, an on-premises backup storage for Veeam customers. In the hour-long webinar, the company\u2019s Senior Director of Solutions Marketing will delve into the latest research and trends around data resilience, provide an example of a real-life ransomware attack, share practical steps for preparing for a worst-case scenario, and use a live product demo to showcase how Object First can help teams protect themselves.<\/p>\n Read on Solutions Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Information Gain Series: The SaaS Data Protection Problem Most Organizations Don’t Know They Have<\/strong><\/p>\n Most IT leaders feel reasonably confident about their\u00a0data protection posture<\/a>. They have backup strategies for virtual machines, immutable storage for critical systems, and recovery playbooks that have been tested and refined over the years. What many of them haven\u2019t fully reckoned with is that a tremendous amount of corporate data now lives entirely outside those systems, spread across hundreds of SaaS applications that most organizations haven\u2019t mapped, let alone protected.<\/p>\n Read on Solutions Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Information Gain Series: AI Governance in Cybersecurity Has a Leadership Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the central argument that emerged from a recent episode of\u00a0The Cyber Circuit<\/em>\u00a0podcast on Insight Jam<\/a>, featuring former CISO\u00a0Manju Mude<\/a>\u00a0and cybersecurity advisor\u00a0Michael Morgenstern<\/a>. The conversation is worth your time. But the conclusions it surfaces point to a broader structural problem that deserves sustained editorial attention.<\/p>\n Read on Solutions Review<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Contributor Series: Redefining Risk in an Era of Geopolitical Cyber Threats<\/strong><\/p>\n In a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, this is a reality we increasingly find businesses coming up against. As it stands, most enterprise risk models were built around ransomware and data theft and fail to account for that kind of impact. As this trend spreads, more businesses are reframing their response to threats.<\/p>\n Read on Insight Jam<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n –<\/p>\n Insight Jam’s <\/em>Mesh Lab Episode 5 Now Available: Human-Centered Environments<\/strong><\/p>\n The conversation shifts beyond standard pedagogy to address the existential crisis facing students and workers as AI disrupts traditional ideas of productivity and purpose. Panelists emphasize the urgent need to stop measuring final outputs and instead focus on the creative, collaborative process of learning. Ultimately, the group argues that to foster uniquely human skills like adaptability in students, educators must first be granted the autonomy to exercise those exact same skills.<\/p>\n Watch on Insight Jam<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Solutions Review <\/i>Surpasses 250K on YouTube to Power Unmatched Media Momentum in Enterprise Tech & the Human Impact of AI<\/b><\/p>\n Solutions Review<\/em>\u00a0has officially surpassed\u00a0250,000 subscribers on YouTube<\/a><\/strong>, a milestone that\u2019s about more than just the number.
