"Cloud Data Protection Trends You Need to Be Aware Of"

Veeam Software has released its "Cloud Protection Trends Report 2023," which covers four key "as a Service" scenarios: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and Backup and Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (BaaS/DRaaS). According to the survey, businesses are becoming more aware of the need to protect their SaaS environments. For example, almost 90 percent of Microsoft 365 customers surveyed use supplemental measures in addition to built-in recovery capabilities. Preparing for a quick recovery from cyber and ransomware attacks was the most frequently cited reason for this backup, with regulatory compliance coming in second. According to Danny Allan, CTO and SVP of Product Strategy at Veeam, the growing adoption of cloud-powered tools and services, increased by the shift to remote work and current hybrid work environments, has put a spotlight on hybrid IT and data protection strategies across industries. As cybersecurity threats grow, organizations must look beyond traditional backup services to develop a strategic approach that best meets their business needs and cloud strategy. The findings of this survey reveal that workloads continue to move fluidly from data centers to clouds and back again, as well as from one cloud to another, adding to the complexity of data protection strategy. According to the findings of this survey, while modern IT enterprises have made significant advances in cloud and data protection, there is still work to be done. This article continues to discuss key findings from Veeam's Cloud Protection Trends Report 2023.
