"As ransomware threats continue to evolve in sophistication and frequency through the growing use of AI by threat actors, mid-market organizations are increasingly the ‘easier’ target and recognizing the critical need for robust data protection solutions," said Chris Babel, CEO at Arcserve. "Our inclusion in CRN's Cloud 100 list validates the Arcserve commitment to providing partners with the solutions they need to deliver comprehensive data resilience strategies for mid-market and SMB organizations. By enabling partners to also offer robust and easy-to-use immutability and SaaS data protection as part of their core offerings, Arcserve is helping businesses stay ahead of ransomware threats and align with compliance needs."
