Cybersecurity has long been a boardroom topic but it is becoming increasingly important to ensure the company and its systems are protected and that plans are in place to efficiently deal with potential cybersecurity breaches. Gaurav Rishi, Vice President of Products & Cloud Native at Kasten by Veeam, feels that companies can sometimes make the mistake of thinking that they are automatically protected because they are on the cloud. Unfortunately, this can prove to be a costly mistake with cryptojacking attacks or ransomware attacks. Statistics show that there is a ransomware attack every 11 seconds in organizations around the world. Rishi explains further why companies should take security seriously in this video.
