at risk of delay or failure
erto, an industry leader for IT resilience, has
announced the full findings of its sponsored IDC
survey, Worldwide Business Resilience Readiness
Thought Leadership Survey. • • A total of 56% of respondents had an event resulting in
unrecoverable data loss and the top causes of this loss
were often avoidable (i.e. the event occurred during a gap
between backups, backup/recovery system failures, etc.)
The subsequent report revealed that 91% of respondents have
experienced a tech-related disruption in the past two years
and yet 82% of respondents said data protection and recovery
are important to their Digital Transformation projects. Visit zerto.com/page/the-state-of-it-resilience-report-request/
