Dell EMC announced Cyber Recovery software, along with Cyber Recovery Services, designed to help provide a last line of data protection defense against ransomware and destructive cyber attacks. The software includes automation, workflow and security analytics tools to ensure gold copies of critical data are isolated yet available so business processes can be resumed as quickly as possible in the event of a destructive cyber attack.
“Malicious insiders and sophisticated cyber attackers, especially those that employ ransomware, are known to deliberately target data protection and backup infrastructure,“ said Beth Phalen, President, Data Protection, Dell EMC. “We take a layered approach to data protection within the portfolio and with our Dell EMC Cyber Recovery software and Services, helping ensure true data isolation and a last line of data protection defense for business-critical data from a variety cyber threats.“
Dell EMC Cyber Recovery is new software that integrates with Data Domain protection storage hardware. It provides a solution that combines the benefits of data isolation and business continuity to help minimize the impact of a cyber attack, while providing a faster and higher likelihood of success in the recovery of critical data and systems.
It automates the retention of isolated secure copies of critical data within a Cyber Recovery Vault, removing them from the attack surface. Serving as the ideal test bed, the CR Vault allows customers to perform security analytics on the retained data without having to perform a restore and potentially activating malware that may be present in the protected dataset. A new REST API automation framework provides seamless integration with security analytics software packages such as Index Engines CyberSense which applies over 40 heuristics to determine indicators of compromise.
Cyber Recovery Services are focused on providing a solution which is tailored to the customer’s exact data protection and cyber security requirements. This is accomplished through an expanded set of services including workshops with clients, advisory service, advisory & roadmap, deployment services and implementation. Cyber Recovery software is now available globally through Dell EMC at no additional cost with purchase of Data Domain (DDOS 6.0.x and higher). Cyber Recovery Services are also already available.
AgentOS is Infobip’s response to a phase in which agents are becoming an important tool for process automation and customer communication. Krešo Žmak says the market is still at an early stage, but clients are moving away from AI for the sake of innovation and towards measurable results. The next challenge will be controlling costs, user experience, and the nondeterministic nature of agentic systems.
Telecom operators approach AI from two directions: as providers of infrastructure for the digital transformation of other industries and as organisations embedding AI into their own processes. A1 Hrvatska has moved from prototypes to concrete products, from customer support to sovereign European cloud services. Daniel Šimić says workforce profiles are also changing, with fast learning, customer understanding and adaptability becoming more important.
Burra was created as a platform for consolidating IT services companies in Southeast Europe, with a commercial focus on Western Europe and the United States. Its first members, Devōt, Tacta and CoreLine, continue to run their existing businesses while integration is planned gradually, primarily through new projects. Sven Marušić says the aim is not to turn founders into corporate employees, but to build a larger organisation in which they remain shareholders and drivers of growth.
