Disaster recovery is a necessity for an organisation's cyber resilience strategy. Seventy-six percent of respondents to Gartner’s IT Disaster Recovery Trends and Benchmarks survey reported an incident during the past two years that required disaster recovery, with more than 50% experiencing at least two incidents. The frequency of these incidents proves how essential comprehensive backup and recovery plans are to ensure business continuity.

However, disaster recovery can be daunting, expensive, and complex. Disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) takes the management and overhead off your hands - while ensuring your data and applications are backed up and can be recovered quickly.

Join this webinar to:
- Discuss the evolution and movement from traditional disaster to DRaaS
- Discover how to build an effective recovery plan using DRaaS
- Explore the cost-benefits of partnering with a DRaaS provider
- See why partners should tap into the potential of disaster recovery and provide it as a service

DRaaS takes the burden of planning and managing recovery resources off the organization and puts it into the hands of specialists. So, why not leave it to the experts?

Businesses Are Embracing DRaaS: Here’s Why

Cyber resilience can be an intimidating topic for any business, but the risk of a cyber attack is higher than ever. It is critical for companies to take action to lower their cyber risks, or potentially face crippling business disruptions: 1/3 of companies that experienced a ransomware incident reported business disruption of a week or longer, while 75% of companies that encountered a highly visible ransomware incident required post-incident steps to assess and, as warranted, improve their company’s data protection and recovery practices. 

To help organizations get ahead of potential cyberattacks, this IDC eBook, sponsored by Webroot + Carbonite, presents a six-step cyber resilience framework based on foundational industry principles that outlines the steps that businesses can take to strengthen their cyber resilience.

In this webinar, IDC analyst Michael Suby engages BrightCloud’s Matt Aldridge in a discussion of this six-step cyber resilience framework and explores the role of threat intelligence in boosting security efficacy. This conversation covers trends in the current threat landscape, new forms of cyber attacks attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, and highlights ways that advanced machine-learning models can be leveraged to produce timely, accurate, and contextual threat intelligence to combat zero-day threats. 

There is no need to roll the dice and only partially address cybersecurity risks. Turning the framework and insights presented in this eBook into action provides a blueprint to lower your cyber risks and to avoid becoming the next victim.
