Whether we like it or not, the way we work and where we work has fundamentally influenced our collective perspective. The pandemic forced organizations to quickly update and implement business resiliency plans or scramble to develop and execute plans to support remote work and education potentially mortgaging data security in the process. The pandemic continues to force organizations to revisit long-standing beliefs and attitudes about and toward remote work and education. As a result, while most knowledge or service-based organizations learned that they are more productive than ever, they are also very vulnerable because traditional approaches to securing remote devices and access to sensitive data simply did not travel well. The cybersecurity industry responded quickly and, in many cases, was well-positioned to support a transition to remote work. The industry foresaw an increased need to secure and manage remote devices as well as access to sensitive data from those devices, but the pandemic expedited and magnified the use case.

Moving valuable data and workload to the cloud requires careful thought and consideration to ensure that the data gets the durability and availability that best fits the use case. There is no magic cloud button to ensure 100% durability and availability — not even in the most expensive solutions. But have no fear, there is hope.
Disasters come in many forms, whether that be from natural disaster, technical failure, human error, or malicious action, the result is still unplanned downtime and the need for recovery.
