Kyndryl and Veritas Technologies are going to market on two joint services: Data Protection Risk Assessment and Incident Recovery.
The services will help enterprises protect and recover their critical data across on-premise, hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
The Data Protection Risk Assessment with Veritas offering is delivered through the Kyndryl Consult network of technology experts, and provides a cyber resilience maturity assessment that analyses a customer’s IT infrastructure and data against industry best practices.
Kyndryl combines its cyber resilience framework with Veritas’ data management solutions to identify risks, cyber resilience gaps and security vulnerabilities.
Incident Recovery with Veritas is a fully managed service encompassing backup, disaster recovery and cyber recovery. It comes with AI-based autonomous data management capabilities, that drive intelligent automation, operational agility, efficiency at scale, and a consistent experience across clouds for rapid recovery in the event of a cyber incident, say the partners.
The service enables organisations to mitigate the risk and high costs of a data breach by leveraging features such as air-gapped protection, immutable storage, anomaly detection and recovery automation.
“While the benefits of digital modernisation and moving to the cloud are undeniable, businesses need to plan for the risks,” said Kris Lovejoy, Kyndryl security and resiliency global practice leader. “These new co-developed solutions are designed to give our customers a clear view of their current estate, pinpoint areas for strengthening it and then shore up their security posture for the long term.”
“With data now widely distributed, a constantly evolving threat landscape and frequent ransomware attacks, the old methods for protecting data have become obsolete,” added Mike Walkey, Veritas senior vice president of global channels and strategic alliances. “We have combined a deep expertise in managing mission-critical IT environments with trusted data protection, recovery and compliance technology, to help enterprises assess risks and keep their data secure, resilient and compliant.”
