"A third of UK organizations are failing to back up all of their sensitive data, hindering their ability to restore operations and ensure service continuity in the event of a breach. Almost half of those surveyed by security firm Cohesity reported not backing up all their workloads, including virtual machines, applications, and unstructured data, while 38% aren't applying consistent data categorization, backup controls, and policies globally."
"Fraser Hutchison, VP for Northern Europe at Cohesity, warned that enterprises need to sharpen their focus on backup strategies as failure to do so could exacerbate recovery in the wake of a cybersecurity incident. "Most organizations now recognize the need to identify phishing scams or social engineering tactics; however, we can't lose sight of what to do when disaster does strike. While complete prevention is near impossible, assurance of rapid recovery is fully within organizational control," he said."
A significant portion of UK firms do not back up all sensitive data, impeding their ability to restore operations after breaches. Nearly half reported gaps in backing up workloads such as virtual machines, applications, and unstructured data, while 38% lack consistent global data categorization, backup controls, and policies. Only 45% follow the 3-2-1 backup rule, and the same proportion fail to apply immutability to create tamper-proof backup copies. Enterprises must improve backup strategies and adopt immutable, resilient storage to ensure rapid recovery and sustained service continuity during cyber incidents.
