The company has also expanded existing partnerships with Communications Design &amp; Management (CDM) on the back of the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The partners cover a range of regions across ANZ as well as IT disciplines such as cloud, cyber security and government-specific ICT services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloudian\u2019s Senior Director for Asia Pacific &amp; Japan, James Wright, says demand for the company\u2019s Object Lock data immutability technology has been a major factor in the company\u2019s partner expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the aftermath of a very difficult period for cyber-attacks for the region, government agencies and enterprises are looking at what they need beyond perimeter defences to be protected and resilient,\u201d said Wright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cImmutable data backup really is a no brainer in that conversation. That is the insurance policy, the lifeline we need when the worst happens and it\u2019s great to see that message resonating with our partner community and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent report from Veeam highlighted that on average, organisations were only able to recover 69% of their data in the event of a data breach. Wright says time is also a major factor when it comes to injecting data back into the organisation post breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRansomware attacks can cost thousands of dollars a minute or more. If you\u2019re waiting to retrieve data from old legacy systems, or worse, from the attackers, you\u2019re looking at days or weeks to get a likely incomplete dataset back. The combination of Cloudian\u2019s technology and our partners\u2019 expertise means organisations can get back online with their key data within a few hours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Walters, CEO, NEXTGEN Group, said: \u201cCloudian has been a part of our cyber and data resilience portfolio for many years and expanding its partner ecosystem with these quality relationships is testament to its technology and the opportunity in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cData resilience is a key part of a holistic approach to managing cyber risk and we view Cloudian as an excellent choice for Australian critical infrastructure, companies that deal with sensitive personal information and \u2013 more broadly \u2013 any organisation that needs data surety to function.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wright added that in Australia, a renewed push to achieve and move up the maturity levels in the Essential Eight (E8) maturity model has added to the emphasis on immutability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cData immutability addresses a number of requirements for E8, particularly as you move up the levels,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more and more agencies, critical infrastructure providers, and enterprises align with E8, which is rightfully shining a greater light on data immutability.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Six partners signed as demand for object storage, data immutability rises on the back of ransomware attacks.
