Security remains a top concern for CIOs, CTOs, CSOs and other C-level executives, for good reason. The proliferation of wireless devices, e-enabled applications and advanced global systems puts your data in the hands of more people in more places than ever. Mistakes are costly and adversely impact brand reputation and customer trust.
Enterprises need to keep their infrastructures up and running 24x7. They need to be able to access information anytime and anywhere. That means that their critical systems must be up and running all the time.
Therefore, it is important that they protect the physical systems, the operating environments, and the applications, across all tiers of their infrastructure. They must protect a broad range of information types, from email to business documents to digital photos to audio and video files. Also, they must ensure that the interactions, the connections, the collaborative environments and the movement of data while in use, are protected.

How Faster Database Recovery Reduces Your Risk
Aberdeen's analysis shows that an engineered systems approach to data protection - as exemplified by the Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance - Increases the rate of recovery from unplanned disruptions to business-critical applications and data by 1.5 times to 3.3 times, as compared to traditional incremental backups, with a median of 2.5 times.

Reducing Risk in the Face of Cyberattacks and Data Loss Exposure
Enterprises like yours face the growing risk of cyberattacks, which increases your exposure to the risk of data loss. One of the most menacing forms of these is ransomware, where your data is encrypted and literally held ransom—until you pay cybercriminals to release it, or you recover your data from a point in time before your systems were attacked. Such attacks and data losses make headlines —damaging your organization’s reputation. And with new regulations concerning data protection coming into force (such as those introduced by the US Department of the Treasury and the European Union) failing to prepare for a quick recovery from a cyberattack could mean serious financial penalties.

Protecting the Digital Enterprise
Enterprise data protection has grown unwieldy, with systems from various vendors claiming to protect all of an enterprise’s data—and none of them doing a particularly good job of addressing mission-critical data recoverability requirements. It’s a situation that introduces risk and raises concerns about IT’s ability to recover in a timely manner and without data loss from outages caused by cybercrime, system failures, or human error. An integrated strategy that focuses on the complete data recovery needs of an enterprise can eliminate data loss, cut recovery times, and reduce IT complexity—while ensuring data security and positioning the enterprise to seamlessly take advantage of the cloud
