Data grew 10-fold in 5 years, poll finds
A majority of organisations are uncertain if they can recover from a ransomware attack and the situation is likely more dire than earlier, given that enterprises globally are managing more than 10 times the amount of data they did five years ago, reports Dell Technologies.
Dell Technologies 2021 Global Data Protection Index (GDPI) findings revealed that organisations were facing several data protection challenges driven by the constant threat of ransomware and the consumption of emerging technologies such as cloud and artificial intelligence.
“As we move further in the data era, the amount of data being generated will continue to increase due to various factors such as continuation of remote working culture, higher adoption of emerging technologies etc,” said Ripu Bajwa, director and general manager, Data Protection Solutions, Dell Technologies India.

The U.S. President’s economic and tariff policies and measures to secure his country’s borders may seem justified in terms of promoting his nation’s interests but have wider ramifications not only for Americans themselves, but also for the rest of the world. His tariff proposals will result in supply chain disruptions, lead to market and currency volatility, disrupt capital and trade flows, contribute to inflation and cause a decline in world trade and economic growth, worsening the plight of the poor, especially in developing economies.
