Cybersecurity threats are on the rise—and for security teams, the stakes have never been higher. Recent findings from a NetApp and Futurum Group cyber resilience study reveal a sobering reality: 

  • Over 54% of enterprises globally have faced a cyberattack in the past 12 to 18 months.  
  • The average cost of a data breach stands at a staggering $5 million.  
  • Although 90% of organizations are increasing their investments in data storage, protection, and management, the question remains—are these investments solving the right problems? 

If these numbers hit close to home, join us for an exclusive webcast where we’ll take a deep dive into the study's insights and explore actionable strategies to fortify your organization’s cyber resilience.  

Cloud, Complexity, AI: The Threats Demanding New Cyber Resilience Thinking

Join us live on LinkedIn January 29 from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Gagan Gulati, General Manager, Data Services, NetApp, and Daniel Newman, CEO, The Futurum Group, will dive into key challenges that organizations face, from managing data sprawl to leveraging AI for threat detection. Here’s a peek at what to expect. 

  • The growing importance of data classification. Did you know that 52% of organizations that recovered successfully after a breach had implemented robust data classification processes? But only 20% of those unable to recover had done so. We’ll offer guidance on automating data discovery and classification and share tips for effective data prioritization that every storage admin can implement. 
  • The role of AI in threat detection. The cyberthreat landscape is continuously evolving, and staying ahead demands proactive, adaptive measures. This is where AI-driven data services come into play. We’ll discuss how AI and machine learning are transforming cybersecurity by anticipating and automating the response to emerging threats.  
  • Addressing strategic problem areas for the future. Cyber resilience is not just about today—it’s also about preparing for tomorrow. We’ll explore the evolving cybersecurity landscape and offer insights into the next strategic problem areas that NetApp aims to address.
