Today’s threat landscape is more volatile than ever and if you think that ransomware or other disaster recovery scenarios such as natural disasters, hardware failures, the ever increasing amount of data being created, and explosion of data sources and silos  don’t happen in the cloud then you should probably think again.

Furthermore, public cloud providers are not responsible for protecting or maintaining the availability of your data. This is a common misconception that too many companies have unfortunately come to realize the hard way.

The challenge organizations face when creating a disaster recovery strategy for their public cloud infrastructure in AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud are real.

Simply put, your applications are susceptible to downtime and critical data loss and most disaster recovery solutions are not purpose-built for the cloud; just on-premises solutions run in the cloud.

However, these hard truths can be avoided with a resilient, modern disaster recovery plan that is fully optimized and purpose-built for the cloud. Finding the right solution and building a strategy for availability and resilience is critical.

In a recently held webinar titled “Why You Need Disaster Recovery Purpose-built for the Cloud”,
