Last month, VMware Data Cloud CTO Sazzala Reddy joined theCUBE to talk about modern ransomware recovery.
Ransomware risk mitigation has long been a CIO priority as threats continue to escalate. The path from cloud chaos to cloud smart is beset with challenges, making ransomware defense an imperative. First, there’s a growing attack surface. Increasingly, organizations need to manage larger volumes of data across distributed data centers, public clouds, and edge devices. Second, attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Ransomware has become a lucrative activity with fileless attacks becoming more and more frequent. Finally, organizations deal with inconsistent operating models with distributed, siloed infrastructure and disjointed operations. This further broadens the opportunity window for cybercriminals to enter the environment. Organizations worldwide are looking for a ransomware defense platform that will provide centralized visibility and control, advanced threat defense and recovery, and a frictionless operating experience.
“Companies are coming to a place where they need a centralized way of looking at this problem and figuring out a way to prevent and recover. Recovery is no longer an option – you must think about it.”
Sazzala Reddy, VMware CTO
