Know Your Data to Better Protect it From Ransomware 

Today, every organization is concerned about security and the inevitability of a ransomware attack. As your data continues to grow, you need to effectively manage it and protect it. Ideally, you don’t want to be reactive in any given situation where you feel pressured to make quick decisions. To keep up with all your data needs, you need a data protection and management solution that will future proof your data and integrate new technologies to your data needs. Then you are proactive against cyberthreats, not reactive.

Identify, Protect, and future proof your data

Effectively and consistently manage all your data security, compliance, transformation, and insights from a single, simple unified platform, spanning hybrid workloads, to minimize risk and accelerate growth. Better identify business-critical data, confidential or sensitive information to ensure your data is properly secured and protected. Once data has been identified and secured, then organizations can use it for greater insight and drive business decisions. Organizations should ensure they can: 

• Rapidly identify and secure business-critical and sensitive data
• Reduce data sprawl and the threat of ransomware
• Centrally manage data across cloud, on-premises, and multi-cloud environments
• Manage risk remediations with collaborative decision making
• Rapidly recover data and applications based on pre-set priorities
