The threat of a cyberattack has become so pronounced that in the 2023 survey of Fortune 500 CEOs, cybersecurity was cited as the #2 threat to their companies. These incidents are on the rise.

If enterprises are investing millions of pounds into their cyber protection armour and disaster recovery strategy, why are hackers still managing to profit from data disasters? One of the big contributors to organisational vulnerability is the lack of integration between primary and secondary storage infrastructure and the data centre-wide cyber security software applications employed to spot suspicious activity.

Explosive growth in data is symptomatic of how much data is being used – and therefore, creates significant demand for enterprise storage. Here’s the key point for CIOs to consider as they develop their future plans: just because there is enormous growth in data and the increased need for more storage capacity, enterprises don’t need to have “explosive growth” in their IT budgets to handle it.

A hybrid multi-cloud approach to enterprise storage has become the go-to strategy for enterprises. Thankfully, IT leaders have, for the most part, figured out the business and technical value of leveraging both the data center and the public cloud. They know where they want workloads to run – and why. And they want the same experience across their private and public cloud environment.

CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, names Infinidat’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Eric Herzog, as a 2024 Inclusive Channel Leader. Now in its second year, the list recognizes executives from vendor, distributor, and solution provider organizations who are dedicated to making a positive impact across the IT channel through inclusive leadership.

Storage admins know the deal. As soon as the security team gets a notification at the first sign of a possible cyberattack, a phone call is made to the storage admin, as part of reactive efforts to protect the enterprise’s mission and business-critical data. Precious minutes and seconds tick by, as this hand-off transpires. The storage admin has to stop what he is doing, shift gears, and focus on the fact that a cyberattack could be underway.

Black hat hackers and cybercriminals are known for their cunning. They have figured out that they can infiltrate an IT network through the enterprise storage infrastructure that does not have the right level of cyber resilience to protect data. These hackers want CIOs to never think about the data storage that undergirds their enterprise businesses. To never think about storage is like complying with the cybercriminal’s call for amnesia.
