As artificial intelligence transforms businesses, the volume of mission-critical data supporting these initiatives is growing exponentially. Unfortunately, threats like ransomware are also rising sharply, putting this valuable data at serious risk. According to a recent Veeam report, 85% of organisations experienced a ransomware attack in the past year. Only 16% were able to recover without paying a ransom.
Clearly, robust data protection strategies are needed now more than ever to safeguard the lifeblood powering AI deployments. However, traditional backup approaches may not adequately protect against modern threats when data volumes and usage patterns change drastically. To address this challenge, more and more companies are leveraging managed backup and recovery solutions.
HKT, for instance, offers a fully managed private cloud service that integrates with Veeam's data management platform driven by AI. Veeam's latest release has new features to help organisations protect themselves from ransomware attacks better. One of them is an AI-powered Malware Detection Engine that scans backups for any indications of ransomware or other malicious activity in real-time. It examines file system changes during the backup process to detect possible malware infections right away. For better visibility, a new Veeam Threat Center keeps track of the environment for security risks and weaknesses. It gives an overall security score while using YARA rules to quickly identify known ransomware variants, preventing re-infection.
Organisations can concentrate on strategic AI projects rather than infrastructure maintenance by letting experts handle their private cloud infrastructure management. In HKT, a team of a professional support team watches over your managed private cloud 24/7. We will give you regular reports to show you the backup system with assurance. Our cloud infrastructures are hosted at ISO-certified local data centers with 24x7 proactive monitoring. Your data will be totally secure, and in full compliance with all of today's increasingly demanding compliance and audit requirements.
As the role of AI evolves in powering digital transformation, protecting the underlying data fueling these systems from cyberattacks is mission critical. Leveraging managed private cloud and AI-powered backup platforms like Veeam provides robust, automated protection that scales with burgeoning data volumes and demands. This empowers organisations to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence safely and securely.
