Industry Pulse
50% of IT decision Makers Resort to Backups for Data Recovery
Apricorn has announced findings from its annual survey conducted among IT security decision makers in the UK, into the state of data backup and the ability of organizations to recover in the event of a cyber-attack.
Half of IT decision makers surveyed had to turn to backups to recover data, highlighting the urgency of implementing more effective data backup strategies to ensure rapid recovery. Of those who needed to recover their data, 50% were able to do so successfully but 25% were only able to partially recover their data/documents. A further 8% were unsuccessful because they did not have robust backup processes in place, demonstrating the need for continued enhancement in storage and backup solutions to ensure complete recovery post-breach.

Flexential recently surveyed IT leaders and found that not many cloud or on-prem data centers were originally designed to handle high-density AI workloads or latency-sensitive AI applications.

- 53% of respondents reported skills gaps or staffing shortages related to the management of specialized computing infrastructure
- 42% of respondents said their organizations have pulled an AI workload back from public cloud due to data privacy and security concerns
- 51% of respondents are addressing performance issues by using third-party colocation data centers to process data closer to the edge
- 45% of respondents from organizations with AI roadmaps said failing to meet the goals in their roadmap would affect their ability to innovate
