The world’s data continues to grow and is set to reach 175 zettabytes globally by 2025 according to a recent study. Thus, protecting personal and sensitive data, as well as individual and corporate privacy, has never been more critical to increase security parameters as they relate to identifiable and confidential data. Security breaches can not only be embarrassing and tarnish reputations, but can also lead to severe legal repercussions.

According to one recent analysis, at least 16 billion records have been lost from data breaches since 2019, including credit card numbers, addresses and other personal information. Regardless of your position on this issue, no one is immune to the threat and challenges in managing data that is collected and stored across increasingly complex information management environments.

The relentless growth of data is now a major concern for both individuals and organizations looking to navigate the changing data landscape. In order to be effective, information management specialists must broadly focus on data loss prevention, storage recovery, and data security.

In addition, world events can have an impact on how data is regulated internationally. For example, the EU and U.S. joint framework, known as the Privacy Shield, went into effect in August 2016 and guarantees strict levels of protection for Europeans’ data when companies move that information to servers in the U.S. These guarantees undoubtedly include more stringent regulatory requirements for those housing and maintaining data.

Key trends regarding solutions to protecting information include comprehensive, scalable, and innovative methods for protecting information. These techniques take into consideration virtually every popular server, storage, hypervisor, database, firewall, antivirus detection, and application platform used in the enterprise today. The growing needs of a fast-paced, modern enterprise that has a flexible, multi-tiered architecture and advanced technology areas including backup, recovery, virtualization, deduplication and snapshot management require skilled professionals.
