HOW CAN DATA
CENTRE MANAGERS
ENSURE CYBER-
RESILIENCE?
A secure, cyber-resilient data
centre is crucial to business
continuity. We hear about how
BaaS is becoming ever more
critical, while three industry
experts offer their views on
how to ensure data centres
are cyber-resilient.

Corrupted data: BaaS solutions
combined with DRaaS are more effective
at bringing back data in a holistic way.
Information loss is the number one
cost component of recovering from a
cyberattack. A total of 33% of companies
experience a disruption in business and
21% experience a loss of revenue.
omport, an
industry leader in
business backup
solutions, held a
discussion about
the top reasons
that BaaS is
critical for the security of data centres.
With more sophisticated infrastructures
creating more opportunities for security
breaches, traditional backup may no
longer be a viable solution.
“The statistics all point to outsourced
backup as the solution that protects
against security breaches, insufficient
backup testing and a lack of staff or
resources,” stated Eric Young, Principal
Cloud Architect of Comport. “Virtual
infrastructures will only become more
complex with more data to collect. The
time to upgrade is now.”
Some of the reasons that Comport
considers BaaS critical for data centre
security include:

Seamless recovery: The larger
a company, the more complex a
full recovery can be. Relying on a
traditional backup solution gives your IT
department the full responsibility for data
retention and infrastructure examination.
with 15% of the SMBs experiencing an
attack losing out on revenue. Digital theft
is becoming more of a trend, not less.
As organisations grow, they become a
more tempting target for cybercriminals,
companies without a BaaS solution have
more to lose than they can afford. Comport helps its customers achieve
efficiencies needed to succeed in
today’s digital world. Customers
include leading enterprises in hospitals
and healthcare, financial services,
manufacturing, media, retail, law firms
and universities.
Fines for data loss: Even if a traditional
backup solution is successful at
recovering some of the data lost after an
incident, it may not be able to mitigate
fines or damaging headlines. Inadequate
protection of data can cost a company
millions of dollars. It has established its cloud brand,
ComportSecure to help customers
