Indians lack confidence on data recovery
A Dell Technologies study says 66% of businesses in India (compared to 62% globally and 68% Asia Pacific+Japan), fear their existing data protection measures may not be sufficient to cope with cyber threats, while 74% (as to 74% globally and 72 % APJ) agree they have increased exposure to data loss with the growth of employees working from home.
The 2021 Dell Technologies GDPI survey of 1,000 global IT decision makers of which 250 are from APJ (Australia, India, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea) shows organizations are combatting continued data growth and increased data protection complexities.
Additionally, 68% of respondents in India (Global: 82%, APJ: 82%) are concerned their organization’s existing data protection solutions won’t be able to meet all future business challenges. These concerns are well-founded, India with 26% (Global: 33%, APJ: 38%) reporting data loss in the last year and 34% (Global: 45 %, APJ: 42%), experiencing unplanned system downtime.
The Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) 2021 Global Data Protection Index’s (GDPI) other findings on India:
42% of respondents in India (Global: 67%, APJ: 67%), lack confidence that all their business-critical data can be recovered in the event of a destructive cyberattack or data loss.
70% of respondents in India (Global: 63%, APJ: 64%) believe emerging technologies, such as cloud-native applications, Kubernetes containers, artificial intelligence and machine learning pose a risk to data protection, and the lack of data protection solutions for newer technologies was one of the top three data protection challenges for organizations. #technologies #investment #data /fiinews.com
