5 Ways to Ensure Data Resiliency in Cloud Computing
The global cloud computing market is projected to more than double—from $546 billion to $1.2 trillion—between 2022 and 2027. That’s a nearly 18 percent CAGR. And Arcserve’s annual independent global research found that 82 percent of IT decision-makers expect an increase in hybrid cloud investments, and 70 percent expect an increase in multi-cloud investments.
Data Resiliency and the Shared Responsibility Model
The Arcserve global study also spotlighted a frequent misconception regarding who is responsible for your data, with 43 percent of IT decision-makers saying they believe cloud providers are responsible for data stored in public clouds. That’s unfortunate because TechTarget notes that the cloud customer is always responsible for securing their data and workloads under the shared responsibility model.
Meanwhile, a 2022 Sophos report found that those using the cloud for infrastructure as a service (IaaS) experienced a significant increase in cyberattacks in the prior year, with 56 percent experiencing an increase in the volume of attacks on their organization and 67 percent reporting that they had been hit by ransomware.
The numbers make it plain that you need to do more to ensure data resiliency in your cloud computing deployment. Here are five ways you can do so.
1. Keep Your Backup and Disaster Recovery Plan Up to Date
2. Build Redundancy and High Availability Into Your
Infrastructure
3. Strengthen Your Cybersecurity and Data Protection Defenses
4. Employ Monitoring and Analytics to Identify Threats, Anomalies, and Performance Problems
5. Talk to the Data Resiliency Experts
