Welcome to our Veeam landing page for our ransomware research.
Jason, this is probably the largest
in the history of the backup or availability industry
research around ransomware.
How did we get the data that we've got and
Where does it come from?
Well, Dave, we start off with our annual data protection
trends report and of course, this year
largest ever of its kind, nearly 3,400 responses.
28 different countries around the world, most
of them enterprises.
And when organizations were asked, what does modern data
protection look like?
One of the sub questions in that was what matters most.
What's most important and tied for second place
was that backup needs to be part of a cybersecurity strategy.
So we went off and went to the same folks that
surveyed the 3,400 folks that did DPR and asked
them to survey 1,000 more respondents.
These folks all had suffered at least one ransomware attack
in 2021.
You know what I think is interesting about this?
I mean, not only is it statistically valid
at 1,000 people, not just 1,000 people,
but 1,000 people that got hit with ransomware.
But I like the different personas that we've got here,
meaning a lot of what we focus on
are the backup administrators.
But we do have practitioners, meaning
200 backup administrators 200 IT Operation people.
But we've got the other lens associated with this as well
from the business, don't we?
Yeah, we really wanted to compare those backup
and IT folks who are responsible for daily operations with 400
security professionals and 200 CISOs or execs that
are responsible for cyber recovery and resiliency.
Looking at how the four different personas looked
at remediation recovery, prevention moving forward,
that was a big part of the research.
Definitely want folks to download it now.
