Summary
There has been a significant increase in successful ransomware attacks on storage and data protection systems in the past year. So, it’s not surprising that new industry and security standards have been published to ensure organizations secure these mission-critical systems. These include NIST SP 800-209; ‘Security Guidelines for Storage Infrastructure’, the new ISO/IEC standard for securing data protection & storage, which was published at the beginning of 2024: ISO/IEC 27040, as well as the more recent European regulation: Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
These regulations, which include requirements that mandate recovery of critical systems within hours, threat intelligence sharing, and immutable storage among others, will result in a new era of data resilience that will require changes across all aspects of data storage and protection operations.
Join us to hear experts from IBM and Continuity Software discuss strategies for simplifying and accelerating your data resilience roadmap and the actions you should take to address the latest regulatory compliance requirements.
Adhering to the DORA offers the following benefits to an organization:
- Ensure the resilience of their ICT systems, which is crucial for enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty
- Underpin the sustainability of future business models, ensuring that the organization remains competitive in the digital age
- Enhance trust with their stakeholders, protect sensitive data, mitigate risks, and demonstrate good governance practices
