Ransomware is one of today’s top business concerns. So says IDC’s Phil Goodwin, Research Vice President within IDC’s Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group, in a recent IDC Opinion White Paper, sponsored by Arcserve. But, with 304.7 million ransomware attacks counted in the first six months of 2021, you already knew that. The paper notes that IDC's research shows that more than 90 percent of organizations surveyed acknowledged being attacked by malware.

Critical Capabilities for Data Protection and Disaster Recovery
IDC identifies five essential capabilities that any effective data protection and DR solution should include:
- Encryption
- Immutable backup data dopy
- Air gapped data copy

Goodwin notes that, with the merger between Arcserve and StorageCraft, the combined company can now offer a fully integrated solution of data protection and management software, object storage platform, and appliance-based data cyberprotection. The white paper also includes an overview of Arcserve’s product line, and associated benefits, from Goodwin’s perspective, including:
- Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP)
- Arcserve Business Continuity Cloud
- Arcserve Cloud UDP secured by Sophos
- ShadowXafe and OneXafe Solo

The white paper concludes that Arcserve can now address the needs of nearly all organizations, from SMBs to large-scale enterprises. The report is filled with valuable information and is well worth your time.
