Add in the fact that Dell found the average organization is managing 10 times more data than they did in 2016 and you have a perfect storm of data security that could threaten to overwhelm organizations and the IT teams that support them.

In addition to the aforementioned statistics, Dell also said that 62% of GDPI respondents expressed concern that their existing data protection measures were insufficient to cope with existing malware and ransomware threats.

All of those fears could, theoretically, lead to an improvement in data security posture, but study respondents throw a blanket on that fire: 67% are concerned that they may not be able to recover data lost due to a cyberattack or ransomware infection.

Transparent snapshots in Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager "Simplify and automate VM image-level backups." Dell said that Transparent Snapshots can deliver up to five times faster backups and a five times reduction in VM latency.

Smart Scale for Dell EMC PowerProtect appliances allows organizations to "Configure multiple appliances as a single pool giving them the ability to see and manage large data sets in one entity-as many as 32 PowerProtect appliances and more than three exabytes of logical capacity."

Dell Managed Services for Cyber Recovery is a new managed service that "Reduces risk of data loss by having Dell experts manage day-to-day cyber recovery vault operations and support recovery activities."
