GUEST OPINION: In today’s ever-evolving landscape, data loss incidents can be more than just a minor inconvenience for individuals; for organisations, they can spell disaster. The second half of 2023 marked a 19% increase in data breaches from the first half of the year, according to data released by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). As data breaches, losses, and thefts grow in complexity, scale and impact, World Backup Day serves as a timely reminder of the critical importance of data protection at both personal and enterprise levels.

With more and more companies leveraging data-driven decision-making and technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the need for highly available and easily accessible data becomes critical. However, AI models are only as good as the data they are fed; therefore the key to trusting your AI is to first trust your data. Enterprises must ensure that they have robust data governance and recovery frameworks in place so that their datasets are trusted, accurate, consistent, and protected.

While data encryption and backup are common methods employed by enterprises for data protection, an effective safeguarding strategy requires a holistic approach that includes policies and processes to address disaster recovery and improve data’s resiliency. This is especially relevant as customers routinely ask a straightforward question: what should I do if a catastrophe hits my business and threatens to take out my data? The simple answer: make disaster recovery easier.

Companies can better understand and plan for disaster recovery by investing in data management platforms that provide a real-time overview of data across multi-cloud and on-premises environments. These platforms enable them to actively monitor for threats while accelerating their AI and digital transformation initiatives through instant access to high-quality data.
