Data Security: Bridging the air gap between data and its protection

India’s path to digital transformation has accelerated manifold in the past few months. While many businesses had already realised the importance of transforming themselves, it became a priority for them only after they were forced to entirely change their working models, due to the pandemic. It was not surprising to note that those who had already made digital transformation their priority, were able to seamlessly transition and stay ahead of their competitors.

“As these businesses worked towards maintaining continuity, while quickly shifting to a remote working style, they faced certain concerns, in the process,” says Ripu Bajwa, director and general manager, Data Protection Solutions, Dell Technologies, India. “One of the major concern areas included the protection of their most valuable asset—data. In fact, due to lack of preparedness, many businesses fell prey to cybercriminals who were able to sneak into their IT systems, leading to data breaches.”
