Enabling Modern Cyber-resilience with IBM Storage

This Omdia White Paper discusses the increasing importance of AI-powered storage resiliency in combating the growing cyber-crime epidemic. It outlines the current landscape of cybersecurity threats, emphasizing that successful attacks are becoming a matter of 'when' rather than 'if.' The paper highlights the necessity for organizations to shift their focus from merely preventing attacks to developing robust recovery strategies. It identifies two foundational aspects of a comprehensive resiliency strategy: the critical role of data and the integration of AI technologies. The document details how IBM's storage solutions, including IBM FlashSystem and Storage Defender, contribute to enhancing data resilience and cyber-resilience. It also presents findings from recent research on ransomware attacks, illustrating the alarming frequency and sophistication of these threats, and underscores the challenges faced by IT leaders in maintaining security amidst a complex and evolving IT environment. The paper concludes by advocating for a strategic approach to embedding resilience within storage infrastructures.
