Overcome Data Protection Challenges with Tierpoint

Currently, organizations have to store, manage and protect tons of data. Every day, we generate 2.5 exabytes of data that maintain quality standards. As remote work becomes more common, there is an increase in security risks that must be addressed by companies.

Organizations face a variety of challenges when it comes to improving and modernizing data protection, including:

Hybrid IT environments

Companies are using networks with platforms operating across various geographic locations, which is a challenge to secure. IT departments have the ability to find security tools that work in multi-cloud environments and best practices to help protect data in a hybrid environment. Security measures involve identity and access management (IAM) which restricts unauthorized user access, encryption, and managed services providers who help configure cross-platform cybersecurity solutions.

Physical Security

As offices are becoming increasingly empty, people using work devices in the office could risk having their data or device stolen. Pair that with more employees connecting from remote locations and security becomes a major issue.

Human Error

According to industry reports, because ransomware is spread through social engineering as well as other types of cyber-attacks, it is important for employees to be trained against phishing attempts and other scams.
65% to 90% of breaches are caused by phishing or other social engineering. Ransomware can be spread through these types of tactics.

Lack of Experience

There’s a lack of resources in IT departments to manage programs related to data storage and recovery, especially for small businesses. Recent surveys found little knowledge in IT departments on how to best protect data.
