Data security is becoming increasingly complex and the datasets that require securing are growing rapidly.

Rubrik internal data revealed that on average, the growth of data secured in 2022 was 25%. 56% of organizations currently employ at least one zero trust initiative.

99% of external organizations reported having data backup and recovery technology, with 93% encountering significant issues with their solution.

Nine out of ten external organizations reported malicious actors attempted to impact data backups during a cyberattack, and 73% were at least partially successful in these attempts.

72% of organizations reported paying a ransomware demand, and only 16% of all global organizations recovered all of their data via attacker decryption tools.

"It's clear organizations understand the gravity and impact of cyber incidents, but we also see a range of roadblocks from a lack of preparation, misalignment between IT and security teams, and over-reliance on insufficient backup and recovery solutions," said Steven Stone, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs.
