Veeam User Group Day in Monaco

Hi, I hope that you had a lovely summer holiday and wanted to thank everyone who has already registered for the first Veeam User Group in France (September 14, 2023)! To those who haven´t done it yet, the form will be open for the rest of 3 next weeks, so I hope each of you will find a minute of your time to share with the community your plans, and feedback, so we can plan the VUG Monaco in the best possible way. We are targeting session tunings to launch once registration is done – I will inform you about that happening when it´s time. 😉

2023 Ransomware Trends Report

According to the 2023 Ransomware Trends Report (Data Protection), 85% of organizations suffered at least one cyber attack in the preceding twelve months; an increase from 76% experienced in the prior year. To better understand the preparedness and recoverability of cyber attacks, an independent research firm conducted a blind survey of 1,200 unbiased IT leaders whose organizations suffered at least one ransomware attack in 2022. Organizations of all sizes from 14 different countries across APJ, EMEA and the Americas were represented.

The survey asked about the impact that ransomware had on their environments, as well as what their IT strategies and data protection initiatives are moving forward. While analysts forecasted growth in overall IT spending for 2023 between 4.5% by IDC and 5.4% by Gartner, respondents in this survey expect their cyber security (preventative) budgets to grow by 5.6% and their data protection (remediation) budgets to grow by 5.5% in 2023.

Hit by a ransomware, what’s next?

Just had the incredible opportunity to do a session on stage at VeeamON 2023 in Miami and introduce Monaco Cyber! Still pretty cool to see a full house! We shared what happens during a ransomware attack and our best practices to react faster with efficiency. By sharing our combined experiences in France and Monaco, and the tips we’ve learned along the way, our hope to help you avoid these kind of cyberattacks from happening to you and your company and if they do, what you can do to quickly recover.
