The need for disaster recovery services to protect data and prevent IT disasters grows every year, with 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data being produced every day.
Until recently, disaster recovery plans involved little more than data backups; however, with the amount of data being produced and the increase in security issues threatening it all, protection has evolved over the past few years into much more than just data backups.
Halfway into 2022 and looking ahead, disaster recovery services as standalone offerings are becoming the norm as companies need newer and more effective ways to protect their data.
Growing Threats Affecting More Companies
Particularly in the last decade, managed services have become a critical factor for many companies, enabling them to work more productively and safely than before.
Basic disaster recovery services have always been a part of managed services; however, basic is no longer enough for many businesses.
With companies liable for data breaches and theft of customer and client personal information with some breaches resulting in the theft of tens of millions of personal data records, the need for better and more skilled disaster recovery plans is more apparent than ever.
And as hackers continue to get smarter and ransoms get higher, staying on top of these risks was never more critical.
Dedicated disaster recovery services that start with protective networking are the managed services strategy of today and the future.
Getting ahead of the threats through prevention, then having a sound mitigation plan in place if a breach still happens must be every company’s goal.
Disaster Recovery Services An Entire Cybersecurity Sector in 2022
Taking into account this need for better and more specialized disaster recovery planning, disaster recovery as a service or DRaaS is gaining momentum in 2022 and looking ahead to more easily serve these and other needs:
- Ransomeware Protection - Ransomware continues to be a huge security issue for companies large and small. With no end in sight to the development of this malware, disaster recovery services focus increasingly on reducing exposure to prevent companies from being victimized.
- Continuous Networking and Data Protection - As a basis of total managed network services, disaster recovery as a service starts at the beginning with an effective and safe network design to provide multiple layers of protection at all times.
- Virtual Cloud Security - As cloud service has grown from a means of collaborating to a method of securing data, more specialty solutions including hybrid cloud and multi-cloud services can be implemented.
- Database Recovery Services - Data recovery services such as instant and secure network recovery are yet another part of effective disaster recovery planning for every business to prevent business interruption and the losses associated with it.
- Regulatory Compliance and Cloud Sovereignty - Along with growing security issues, there are also obstacles to regulatory compliance and data sovereignty as well, with different countries establishing different privacy laws, all of which fall increasingly under disaster recovery planning due to how it affects business liability.
Disaster Recovery Planning Getting More Complex
With disaster planning encompassing more every day from network security to data protection to international privacy laws, it is easy to see how disaster recovery services have become their own specialty and not just a basic inclusion in overall managed services.
Businesses seeking unparallel comprehensive protection from cyber threats and beyond should outsource their disaster recovery services to providers that understand such needs based on each company’s specific risks faced.
