Dell Technologies' Global Data Protection Index 2020 Snapshot takes a closer look at the disruptions plaguing organizations around the globe.
"Vulnerabilities, if not addressed, can do lasting damage to a company. Businesses must become more resilient, such as implementing air-gapped solutions that are physically disconnected while protecting their data, as cyber criminals continue to seize new opportunities to cause disruptions," said Nelson Hsu, director of data protection solutions marketing at Dell Technologies.
On average, organizations manage more than 13.50 petabytes of data, increasing an astounding 831% since 2016, according to the Dell report.
Disruptive events, such as cyberattacks, data loss, and system downtime appear to be the main threat to an organization's data, according to the report.
"Data is the lifeblood of business and the key to an organization's digital transformation," said Beth Phalen, president, Dell Technologies Data Protection.
