Finding True Data Resiliency Using a Shared Responsibility Model

Data isn't just an asset anymore…it's the lifeblood of every organization.

From customer records to intellectual property, the integrity and availability of your data are paramount to business continuity and competitive advantage. Yet, the threats to this critical resource are ever-evolving, from ransomware attacks and accidental deletions to hardware failures and natural disasters, and of course the rapidly evolving threat of AI.

This is where data resiliency becomes non-negotiable.

To be clear, data resiliency isn't merely about having backups; it's about an organization's holistic ability to withstand and rapidly recover from any data-related disruption. It encompasses proactive measures to prevent loss, minimize downtime, and ensure data integrity. Achieving this level of robust protection requires a strategic approach, and increasingly, businesses are finding the answer in a Shared Responsibility Model.

The Shared Responsibility Model, often discussed in the context of cloud services, clarifies the division of duties between a service provider and the customer. While a cloud provider ensures the security of the cloud infrastructure (e.g., physical data centers, network hardware), the customer remains responsible for security in the cloud, which crucially includes their own data, configurations, and access management. This distinction is vital for data resiliency.

You can't simply hand over your data to a cloud provider and assume all responsibility for its protection ends there.

This is precisely where solutions like CrashPlan come into play. CrashPlan understands that true data resiliency is a collaborative effort. While cloud providers lay the groundwork with their infrastructure, CrashPlan empowers organizations to fulfill their crucial role in the shared responsibility model by providing robust, cyber-ready data protection for endpoints, servers, and even SaaS applications like Microsoft 365.

Think about it: your valuable employee data, critical project files, and sensitive communications often reside on individual laptops, desktops, or within SaaS platforms. Without a dedicated solution, these vital data points can be highly vulnerable. CrashPlan steps in to bridge this gap; offering:

• Continuous Data Protection: Automatically backing up data as it changes, minimizing recovery point objectives (RPOs) and ensuring you lose as little data as possible.
• Rapid Recovery: Enabling quick restoration of files, folders, or even entire user profiles, significantly reducing recovery time objectives (RTOs) in the face of a data loss event.
• Ransomware Recovery: Providing immutable backups that are isolated from your live environment, allowing you to roll back to pre-attack versions and bypass extortion attempts.
• Visibility and Control: Giving IT teams the power to manage backups, monitor status, and ensure compliance across the entire organization from a single console.

By partnering with a data resiliency specialist like CrashPlan, businesses can embrace the Shared Responsibility Model more effectively. They can leverage the underlying security of their cloud infrastructure while taking proactive ownership of their data's protection, ensuring that even in the face of unforeseen challenges, their operations can continue without significant disruption.

In a landscape where data is king, a clear understanding of shared responsibility, amplified by powerful solutions like CrashPlan, are the cornerstone of unwavering business resilience.
