In the early days of cybercrime, cybercriminals focused on encrypting production data. Cohesity allowed customers to rapidly restore their data from backup. As a result, criminals innovated their attack methods and started directly attacking backups, in order to destroy or encrypt them. Thinking of a way to stop criminals, Cohesity unveiled new SaaS offerings, which are available in the data management-as-a-service portfolio of solutions managed by Cohesity. New SaaS Solutions from Cohesity Cohesity DataGovern: A data security and management service that uses AI/ML to automate the discovery of sensitive data and detect anomalous patterns of access and usage that can predict a cyberattack. Project Fort Knox: A service that allows customers to keep an isolated copy of their data in a vault managed by Cohesity to improve data resilience in the face of ransomware attacks.

Flash storage is becoming the new normal to storage data. But, do you know the differences between MLC & QLC drives and why they differ in cost? MLC vs QLC At a very basic level, MLC & QLC differ in capacity, performance & reliability and there are varying costs in using a particular type of flash. Multi-level cells have half the storage capacity of Quad-level cells but don't think that makes them cheaper than QLC. On the contrary, the more storage capacity, the cheaper it will be, so MLCs are slightly more expensive than QLCs.On the other hand, QLC SSDs are generally less reliable than MLC SSDs, precisely because they have 16 different voltage levels compared to MLC's four. Check out this blog from the Magic Quadrant leader, Pure Storage, for more about the advantages & disadvantages of the different types of flash.

Every year we see unfortunate stories of ransomware attacks where companies lose money, data and potentially reputation. One of the most publicised incidents is the case of the North American oil pipeline, Colonial Pipeline, which caused panic in the purchase of fuel. A ransom of $4.4 million was eventually paid but much of it was recovered by the FBI. We are sure that no organisation wants to go through that. Today we bring you some simple ways to keep your data safe. First, do the basics! Have these essential and indispensable things to avoid losing your data in an attack: two-factor authentication, patch your systems and security monitoring.

The health sector produces a lot of data, which guarantees good patient care and helps guide doctors to diagnoses. Therefore, conserving this data is extremely important. On world health day, let's talk a little about the "health" of your data storage and how to use technology in favor of a hospital. Store data on internal hardware or in clouds? Cloud storage is very easy as it accommodates data through a server, unlike the traditional and physical storage system. The information is transmitted and archived on a remote system, and after that, it can be managed, backed up, and made available to the user over a network.When we talk about the security of this data, many questions arise, but with the right provider, you will never have headaches with this kind of concern. Data security is one of the most important benefits of cloud storage.As we mentioned before, having a traditional storage...

In the IT area and Technology, tests are done every day to improve the user experience and ensure the security and usability of stored data. These tests can reveal a system's strengths and weaknesses and allow you to make improvements. In the world of F1, things work the same way. The tests also done are just as important as for the IT. Pre-season testing generates piles of data that teams use throughout the season to tune cars. And, just like the IT practical tests, the tests' weekend in F1 also allows you to better analyze the performance of what was developed.
