Every organization today is at risk of being shut down permanently by a cyberattack. While traditional cybersecurity focuses on defense, cyber resilience focuses on survival. With attackers now successfully disabling backups in over 50% of cases, the "old way" of protecting data is no longer enough.
In the strategic report "2026 Cyber Resilience Trends" we explore how top-performing infrastructure leaders are changing their approach. Learn how to bring recovery closer to the point of attack, leverage intelligent storage to detect threats early, and ensure your organization remains operational even in the face of a breach.
Key Highlights:
Board-Level Mandate: Cyber resilience has moved from an IT-only concern to a critical board-level priority essential for business survival.
High Incident Rate: Over 90% of surveyed organizations have already experienced at least one malware incident.
Targeting Backups: Attackers are increasingly attempting to destroy backup and recovery capabilities, with a success rate of over 50%.
The "Resilience Shift": Moving recovery processes closer to the point of attack to minimize the time-to-recovery.
Intelligent Storage: Leveraging storage systems that proactively identify anomalies and protect data integrity.
The Ransomware Challenge: Recovery from ransomware often takes months, even after a ransom is paid, highlighting the need for immediate resilience.
Silo Breakdown: Successful leaders integrate security and infrastructure teams to eliminate fragmented responses.
Verifiable Certainty: The shift toward recovery protocols that can be tested and verified to guarantee operational continuity.
Business Continuity Focus: Shifting the metric of success from "blocking threats" to "maintaining core operations under stress."
Data Safeguarding: Ensuring that "clean" data is always available for rapid restoration, bypassing corrupted or encrypted files.
Future-Ready Infrastructure: Preparing for the next wave of threats (2026 and beyond) by building flexibility into the data fabric.
