On July 19th, a significant global IT outage resulted in widespread disruptions across various sectors, impacting businesses, institutions, and critical services.

While the cause was not a cyberattack, this is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of our interconnected digital world, and shows that organisations are not necessarily ready for an outage on core business processes. This highlights the importance of data protection and cyber resiliency to ensure quick recovery and business continuity.

Implementing a robust infrastructure with data immutability, consistent deployment processes, and resilience against unexpected failures is crucial. In addition, partnering with a hybrid cloud infrastructure company such as Hitachi Vantara can significantly aid in building a comprehensive data resiliency strategy.

Disruptions can erode public trust, and organisations must prioritise a swift return to normalcy. But this event shouldn’t just be a recovery effort – it’s a catalyst for positive change. Now is the time to ensure your systems are prepared for the unexpected.
