In today’s digital era, ransomware attacks and other cyber threats are more prevalent than ever, posing significant risks to businesses of all sizes. As organizations transition from traditional brick-and-mortar setups to automated, cloud-based infrastructures, they inadvertently open the door to potential cyberattacks. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the cost of cybercrime is projected to reach an annual $10.5 trillion by 20251. Gartner reports that 45% of enterprises worldwide will experience cyberattacks on their software supply chains by 20252. The threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace.

The challenge lies in staying one step ahead of these threats. This is where advanced cyber resilient backup solutions like LTIMindtree Backup Modernization powered by Cohesity, become essential. By integrating these technologies, businesses can significantly reduce the time from detection to action during a ransomware attack, ensuring data security.

LTIMindtree prioritizes end-to-end cyber resiliency and data protection. Our innovative and integrated solution gives enterprises an easy, seamless, and modern data protection experience for workloads anywhere—on-premises, at the edge, in the cloud, or across mixed hybrid environments. This approach not only reduces operational burdens but also enhances ease of use and fortifies security at scale.

Navigating key challenges

Our solution empowers organizations to tackle critical and recurring challenges, including:

• Protection against ransomware attacks and data breaches: Enterprise data is increasingly vulnerable due to the absence of native immutability, inconsistent controls across various products, large attack vectors with multiple threat entry points, and ineffective detection methods. Our solution fortifies data security by addressing these vulnerabilities.
• Reducing cost and complexity: Enterprises often face high costs and operational overheads from managing multiple solutions and tracking data sprawl across diverse locations—including silos, clouds, remote offices, and different management systems—which broadens the cyberattack surface. Our integrated approach simplifies data management and reduces associated costs.
• Meeting business service level agreements (SLAs): Leveraging our solution, Long restore times, non-immediate access to compromised files can be avoided. Our solution ensures faster restores, comprehensive restore capabilities, and immediate access to validated clean data, thereby enhancing business continuity and reliability.
