• Healthcare organizations experienced 50% more encryption events than the global average across 2023

• Cloud continues to drive inherent risk and security blind spots as 70% of all data is typically not machine readable by security appliances

• Leadership changes following cyberattacks are on the rise, with major personnel changes reported by 44% of organizations — up from 36% in 2022.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – April 30, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Recent cyber incidents demonstrate the healthcare industry continues to be a prime target for ransomware hackers. New research by Rubrik Zero Labs reveals that ransomware attacks produce larger impacts against these healthcare targets. In fact, the report estimates that one fifth of all sensitive data belonging to healthcare organizations is impacted in each ransomware attack.

Rubrik Zero Labs’ new “The State of Data Security: Measuring Your Data’s Risk” report offers insights on real-world risks against data as the pace and volume of cyber events continues to increase globally, aided by the explosion of data in the cloud and the realities of modern computing environments. Rubrik Zero Labs studies the challenges organizations’ face to protect their crown jewels — their data — as well as how to reduce data risk and prepare for the evolving risk cycle before, during, and after a cyberattack.

“Despite the fallout of cyberattacks dominating headlines, data risk is an issue that continues to be murky — especially in terms of what security teams can actually change and what they cannot,” said Steven Stone, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs. “With this report, we aim to provide quantifiable insights that IT and security leaders can bring back to their organization to drive greater cyber resilience-in particular with their partners in the business and governance teams. The more we talk about cyber threats like ransomware, and its impact on industries like healthcare, the more we can collaborate to minimize the risk calculus and ultimately beat cyber attackers trying to impede our businesses.”

The Rubrik Zero Labs research unit pairs Rubrik telemetry across its customer base of more than 6,100 organizations with findings from a survey conducted by Wakefield Research of more than 1,600 IT and security leaders — half of which are CIOs and CISOs. Additionally, this study incorporated data from two Rubrik partner organizations and five other research organizations in an effort to provide the most objective findings. With core focuses including the cyber threat landscape in the healthcare industry, cloud data security blind spots, and ransomware, key findings include:

Healthcare organizations experienced 50% more encryption events than the global average across 2023

• Rubrik observed that healthcare organizations secure 22% more data than the global average.

• A typical healthcare organization saw their data estate grow by 27% last year.
• A typical healthcare organization has more than 42 million sensitive data records — 50% more sensitive data than the global average of 28 million.
• Sensitive data records in observed healthcare organizations grew by more than 63% in 2023 — far surpassing any other industry and more than five times the global average (13%).

Ransomware Produces Outsized Impacts Against Healthcare

• Ransomware attacks against observed healthcare organizations have an estimated impact of almost five times more sensitive data than the global average.
• This equates to an estimated 20% of a typical healthcare organization’s total sensitive data holdings impacted every time there is a successful ransomware encryption event, compared to 6% for an average organization.
• Virtualization really matters for healthcare and ransomware: 97% of all encrypted data in Rubrik observed healthcare organizations last year occurred within virtualized architecture compared to 83% across all industries.

As Cloud Becomes More Widely Adopted, New Security Blind Spots Emerge

• Organizations are becoming more dependent on the cloud. In 2023, Rubrik observed that cloud architecture stored 13% of an organization’s data, compared to 9% in 2022. Comparatively, on-premises declined from 77% in 2022 to 70% in 2023.
• Of the external organizations victimized in a cyberattack in 2023, many were attacked across multiple aspects of their hybrid environment with 67% of attacks impacting SaaS data, 66% for the cloud, and 51% for on-premises locations.
• The cloud comes with inherent risk based on security blind spots and vulnerable sensitive data, according to Rubrik Telemetry:
  • Blind spot #1: 70% of all data in a typical cloud instance is object storage, which typically has a far lower security coverage compared to other areas.
  • Blind spot #2: 88% of all data in object storage is not confirmed as machine readable or covered by prominent security technologies and services.
  • Blind spot #3: More than 25% of object storage data is subject to regulatory or legal requirements, such as protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII).

Ransomware Continues to Wreak Havoc across Organizations — and IT and Security Teams

• 94% of IT and security leaders reported their organization experienced a significant cyberattack last year, and on average faced 30 attacks in that timeframe. One-third of these victims endured at least one ransomware attack.
• 93% of external organizations that endured a ransomware attack reported paying a ransom demand, with 58% of these payments motivated primarily by threats to leak stolen data.
• 96% of senior IT and security leaders reported changes to their emotional and/or psychological state as a direct result of a cyberattack, with 38% worrying over job security.
• Leadership changes increased following cyberattacks, reported by 44% of organizations — up from 36% in Rubrik Zero Labs’ Fall 2022 report “The State of Data Security: The Human Impact of Cybercrime.”

Rubrik Zero Labs, the company’s data security research unit formed to analyze the global threat landscape, reports on emerging data security issues to give organizations research-backed insights and best practices to secure their data against increasing cyber events.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – April 30, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — YugabyteDB, the distributed PostgreSQL database company for cloud native applications, today announced YugabyteDB 2.21 to arm organizations with advanced disaster recovery and resiliency capabilities. This release extends Yugabyte’s xCluster asynchronous replication with disaster recovery orchestration. Further innovations in this release boost data resilience by reducing friction to move existing applications to YugabyteDB, eliminating software upgrade risks, and powering predictable and resilient Kubernetes deployments.

New regulations, like DORA in Europe and APPI in Japan, highlight the growing need for robust disaster recovery and operational resilience. Legacy database systems often require complex third-party protection solutions. As a result, they struggle to meet the ever-changing compliance demands.

Yugabyte is excited to introduce xCluster Disaster Recovery (DR) for YugabyteDB Anywhere to greatly simplify the end user experience. This new offering represents the first time a distributed SQL database has natively integrated orchestrated DR capabilities into its UI. With it, organizations can easily break free from the rigid one-size-fits-all resilience found in many legacy database architectures.

With a single click (or the corresponding API command) users can perform key operations, including initial setup, failover (unplanned failures), switchover (planned failures), and resynchronization in the event of network failures.

“In today’s digital world of rapidly changing regulatory requirements and frequent cloud outages, data resilience is no longer a luxury, it’s a requirement,” said Karthik Ranganathan, Co-CEO and Co-Founder at Yugabyte. “Our new disaster recovery orchestration empowers organizations with the ability to choose the best design pattern for each workload. This allows them to balance their in-region protection, entire-region protection, and performance priorities — while making it easier to address evolving compliance requirements.”

While disaster recovery is a key part of delivering an always-on business, YugabyteDB 2.21 introduces additional enhancements that help organizations focused on strong data resilience do the following:

• Simplify Disaster Recovery with xCluster DR: YugabyteDB xCluster DR removes operational complexity by adding advanced orchestration workflows to an active-active single-master architecture to make the end-to-end setup, switchover, and failover of the DR primary to DR replica simple and turnkey. Unlike traditional systems that force users to use the same mechanism for in-region and entire-region failures, xCluster DR complements YugabyteDB’s native stretched cluster capabilities to provide each workload with the best balance of strong resilience and high performance.
• Upgrade Software Confidently with Upgrade Rollbacks: New upgrade rollbacks in YugabyteDB give users confidence when deploying the latest upgrades, thus ensuring they adopt key performance, resilience and bug fixes sooner. Upgrade Rollbacks (currently available as a preview) allow users to test out the upgrade and then easily revert back to the previous software version before committing. This fosters a more confident and agile approach to database upgrades.
• Protect Existing Applications with Read Committed Isolation Support: By making support for Read Committed isolation generally available, users can now seamlessly migrate existing applications built on popular databases like PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server to YugabyteDB with minimal to no application changes. Users can escape the risks of single-node database systems and benefit from a modern, distributed database with built-in resilience.
• Power Predictable, Robust Microservices with Enhanced Kubernetes Operator: The new and improved YugabyteDB Kubernetes (K8s) Operator is now available as an open source operator for early access on Github. The enhanced operator supports GitOps workflows for infrastructure-as-code (IaC), ideal for organizations looking for improved data resilience in their K8s environment. The operator provides consistent, repeatable deployments with advance change tracking. In addition, it can take backups and automatically perform retries to automatically address many transient issues.
• Deploy Comprehensive Data Protection with CommVault Integration: For protection against unexpected and less common issues that require advanced backup services, YugabyteDB and Commvault Cloud now offer enhanced integration, allowing users to manage backups and restores directly from the Commvault Cloud console. This integration enables granular backup and restore options at various levels (cluster, database, keyspace, table) within YugabyteDB deployments.

As well as being available in the YugabyteDB 2.21 preview release, the latest production release of YugabyteDB 2.20.2 includes YugabyteDB xCluster DR as an Early Access feature. Read Committed Isolation is also generally available. Upgrade Rollbacks are planned for release in YugabyteDB 2.20.3.

• Free cash flow¹ is expected to be at least $200 million

The above statements are based on current targets using exchange rates as of April 29, 2024. These statements are forward-looking and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions discussed in detail below. We do not undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Commvault has provided in this press release the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations (EBIT), non-GAAP income from operations margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP free cash flow, annualized recurring revenue (ARR) and subscription ARR. This financial information has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Commvault uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Commvault believes these non-GAAP operating measures are useful to investors, when used as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating Commvault’s ongoing operational performance. Commvault believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing its financial results with other companies in Commvault’s industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to the investment community. Commvault has also provided its revenues on a constant currency basis. Commvault analyzes revenue growth on a constant currency basis in order to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

All of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release.  (Download Financial Tables)

Non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude noncash stock-based compensation charges and additional Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) and related payroll tax expense incurred by Commvault when employees exercise in the money stock options or vest in restricted stock awards. Commvault has also excluded restructuring costs, noncash amortization of intangible assets, noncash impairment charges, and a gain related to a non-refundable escrow payment associated with the pending sale of Commvault’s headquarters from its non-GAAP results. These expenses are further discussed in Table IV. Commvault believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful metrics for management and investors because they compare Commvault’s core operating results over multiple periods.  When evaluating the performance of Commvault’s operating results and developing short- and long-term plans, Commvault does not consider such expenses.

Although noncash stock-based compensation and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses are necessary to attract and retain employees, Commvault places its primary emphasis on stockholder dilution as compared to the accounting charges related to such equity compensation plans. Commvault believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude noncash stock-based compensation expense and the additional FICA and related payroll tax expenses incurred on stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock awards allow investors to make meaningful comparisons between Commvault’s operating results and those of other companies.

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin.  The most significant limitation is that these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain operating costs, primarily related to noncash stock-based compensation, which is of a recurring nature. Noncash stock-based compensation has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Commvault’s operating results.  In addition, noncash stock-based compensation is an important part of Commvault’s employees’ compensation and can have a significant impact on their performance. The following table presents the stock-based compensation expense included in cost of revenues, sales and marketing, research and development and general and administrative ($ in thousands):

The components that Commvault excludes in its non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the limitations related to the use of non-GAAP measures, Commvault’s management assists investors by providing a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Commvault’s management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS).  In addition to the adjustments discussed in non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS incorporates a non-GAAP effective tax rate of 27%.

Commvault anticipates that in any given period its non-GAAP tax rate may be either higher or lower than the GAAP tax rate as evidenced by historical fluctuations. The GAAP tax rates in recent fiscal years were not meaningful percentages due to the dollar amount of GAAP pre-tax income.  For the same reason as the GAAP tax rates, the estimated cash tax rates in recent fiscal years are not meaningful percentages. Commvault defines its cash tax rate as the total amount of cash income taxes payable for the fiscal year divided by consolidated GAAP pre-tax income. Over time, Commvault believes its GAAP and cash tax rates will align.

Commvault considers non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS useful metrics for Commvault management and its investors for the same basic reasons that Commvault uses non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP income from operations margin. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault’s use of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted EPS.

Non-GAAP free cash flow.  Commvault defines this non-GAAP financial measure as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Commvault considers non-GAAP free cash flow a useful metric for Commvault management and its investors in evaluating Commvault’s ability to generate cash from its business operations. In addition, the same limitations as well as management actions to compensate for such limitations described above also apply to Commvault’s use of non-GAAP free cash flow.

Forward-looking non-GAAP measures. In this press release, Commvault presents certain forward-looking non-GAAP metrics. Commvault cannot provide a reconciliation to the comparable GAAP metric without unreasonable efforts, as certain financial information, the probable significance of which may be material, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated.

Conference Call Information 

Commvault will host a conference call today, April 30, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time (5:30 a.m. Pacific Time) to discuss quarterly results. The live webcast and call dial-in numbers can be accessed by registering under the “Events” section of Commvault’s website. An archived webcast of this conference call will also be available following the call.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release may contain forward-looking statements, including statements regarding financial projections, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, such as competitive factors, difficulties and delays inherent in the development, manufacturing, marketing and sale of software products and related services, general economic conditions, outcome of litigation and others. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties affecting Commvault’s business, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Statements regarding Commvault’s beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future are forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All such forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from anticipated results. Commvault does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

1. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Financial Statement Table IV included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

2. Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) is defined as the annualized recurring value of all active contracts at the end of a reporting period.  It includes the following contract types: subscription (including term licenses, SaaS and utility software), maintenance contracts related to perpetual licenses, other extended maintenance contracts (enterprise support), and managed services. It excludes any element of the arrangement that is not expected to recur, primarily perpetual licenses and most professional services. Subscription ARR includes only term licenses, SaaS and utility software arrangements. Contracts are annualized by dividing the total contract value by the number of days in the contract term, then multiplying by 365.ARR should be viewed independently of GAAP revenue, deferred revenue and unbilled revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace those items. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue. Management believes that reviewing this metric, in addition to GAAP results, helps investors and financial analysts understand the value of Commvault’s recurring revenue streams presented on an annualized basis.

3. Commvault does not provide forward-looking guidance on a GAAP basis as certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional explanation.

Under Constant Threat of Attack, CXOs Can Affordably Test their Cyber Recovery Plans On-Demand and Orchestrate Rapid Recovery to a Clean Location in the Cloud

TINTON FALLS, NJ – April 29, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, is announcing a new era in cleanroom technology.

Via its groundbreaking Commvault® Cloud Cleanroom™ Recovery offering, the company is transforming – from every vantage point – what recovery looks like in the modern world:

• how companies can safely and securely recover a clean copy of their data after a cyberattack;
• where they can recover to – ushering in on-demand cleanroom recovery to the cloud;
• which companies can access cleanroom technology – not just the Fortune 50, but organizations of all sizes; and
• when recovery testing can be done – monthly if desired – so CISOs can say with confidence to their board, ‘when we’re hit, we know we can make a clean recovery.’

A cleanroom is an isolated recovery environment that is frequently used for secure cyber recovery scenarios. However, traditional cleanrooms are often resource-intensive, requiring organizations to maintain duplicative environments for every critical application across every server and every location. Many organizations simply can’t afford to do this.

Additionally, many companies don’t have the time, money, or staff required to test all the interdependencies across these types of hybrid environments to know they can recover when attacked. If they can test, and it fails, they often don’t have the resources to test again. This leaves organizations unpracticed, vulnerable, and at the mercy of bad actors. Commvault is solving these problems.

The Cleanroom Concept Reimagined 

Commvault has reimagined the cleanroom from the ground up.

First, Cleanroom Recovery is being extended to support Commvault’s SaaS customers*. This deployment option democratizes the technology so that companies of all sizes can benefit from the offering. Second, the cleanroom is being hosted in the cloud. When bad actors strike, Cleanroom Recovery is designed to orchestrate recovery into a clean, isolated location in Microsoft Azure. Customers can do this on-demand and only pay for it when they use it. Third, Cleanroom Recovery uniquely gives organizations the ability to rapidly and regularly test and, if necessary, retest their cyber recovery plans with ease across their IT infrastructure.

“With disaster recovery, testing your recovery strategy once a year was fine. For example, with a natural disaster, you didn’t have to worry about bad actors infiltrating your systems. You just needed to be able to recover. Now, with AI-driven attacks, threat vectors change by the hour. The need to not only test your recovery frequently but know you have a clean place to recover in the cloud has never been more important,” said Brian Brockway, CTO, Commvault.

Cleanroom Recovery provides numerous benefits.

Simple: 

• Customers can quickly set up a cleanroom-on-demand in Microsoft Azure.
• Cleanroom Recovery also simplifies the recovery of applications and the data those applications rely on. For example, Cleanroom Recovery will be designed to restore Microsoft Active Directory*. This is the service that controls human access to all applications and other critical enterprise assets. Being able to easily restore Active Directory and validate its consistency and operational health can help ensure proper authorizations to data remain in place.

Secure:

• With Commvault, because the cleanroom is generated on-demand in the cloud, it is designed to be untainted since it doesn’t exist until the organization needs to use it.
• Commvault cleanrooms are in an isolated environment, so application testing and production system backup can be conducted in a safe space.
• Cleanroom Recovery includes an integration with Microsoft Defender that automates threat scanning to help ensure data is clean.
• In addition, Cleanroom Recovery will include capabilities** that enable companies to rebuild applications and services from a known clean state, as needed. This can help customers maintain server operations while enhancing security and efficiency.

Intelligent:

• AI-enabled Cleanpoint™ Validation automatically empowers customers to rapidly identify the last clean recovery point.
• Users can customize recovery sequences, so data is recovered in a logical order. Users can also easily convert VMs from any hypervisor to Azure VMs.
• A forthcoming integration with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR** extends the power of Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery. It enables customers to investigate security incidents by utilizing XSOAR to enrich incidents with the latest threat intelligence data – streamlining the recovery of compromised assets into a cleanroom for forensic analysis and rapid, secure cyber recovery.

With Cleanroom Recovery, customers also benefit from the Commvault Cloud platform, powered by Metallic AI. Commvault Cloud meets the most stringent global security standards and is currently the only FedRAMP High In Process data protection platform. The platform’s unique architecture enables customers to secure and recover their data, across any workload, and from any location to any location. And, in the future, via its recent Appranix acquisition, Cleanroom customers will be able to uniquely blend risk, readiness, and recovery capabilities provided by Commvault with cloud application rebuild capabilities provided by Appranix.

“Enterprises need to think about their cyber preparedness strategy, including protecting mission critical assets via secure and air-gapped backups and the ability to recover fast,” said Aung Oo, General Manager, Azure Storage, Microsoft. “Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery augments air-gapped data protection built on Azure with fast and secure recovery. It enables customers to test their resilience plans, and when necessary, recover to a trusted, clean, isolated location in Microsoft Azure. The clean and isolated copy also enables forensics for auditors and insurers and gives organizations a tremendous advantage in the fight against ransomware and other cyber threats.”

“As cyberthreats grow in frequency and sophistication, global enterprises recognize the need to bolster their defenses with proactive security measures that safeguard not just their data, but the entirety of their business operations,” said Mark Bridges, Sr. Director, Strategic Alliances, Pure Storage. “Pure Storage and Commvault share a deep commitment to empower customers in navigating this journey with confidence, prioritizing rapid recovery that supports comprehensive data protection. We’re thrilled to see the launch of Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery and look forward to our continued partnership to foster a future where businesses thrive securely.”

“Our research shows that ransomware and cyberattacks in general are an existential risk for the vast majority of organizations. In an environment where ransomware and AI-driven cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated, Commvault Cleanroom Recovery critically enables organizations to maintain operational integrity through a continuous loop of testing and constant adaptation,” said Christophe Bertrand, Practice Director, Enterprise Strategy Group. “This solution not only meets the critical need for resilience but evolves with it.”

Supporting Quotes: Customers 

• American Pacific Mortgage: “Cleanroom Recovery is a game-changer for Commvault Cloud,” said Michele Buschman, CIO, American Pacific Mortgage. “It enables comprehensive testing, and retesting, on the fly which is something that traditional cleanroom solutions don’t provide. It also is designed to help organizations to rapidly recover from a cyber incident. The level of confidence and security this innovative solution can provide is invaluable.”

• Emerson: “Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery not only enables organizations to test their recovery plans often, but know that if they’re hit, they can be resilient,” said Zach Kruszewski, Manager CCoE Compute Architecture and Design Team, Emerson Electric. “Having this sense of security is so important in the ransomware era.”

• Kelyn Technologies US: “We are genuinely excited about the advent of Cleanroom technology in our services,” said Kevin Cronin, CEO & Co-Founder, Kelyn Technologies US. “This approach allows us to test our recoverability and create a meticulous checklist for system recovery, utilizing a fully segmented Cleanroom to rapidly restore critical infrastructure. It’s our answer to mitigating today’s ransomware threats, providing a secure environment to assess and ensure recoverability.”

Other Supporting Quotes

• HCLTech: “For over 10 years, some of the world’s largest enterprises have trusted HCLTech and Commvault to deliver offerings that help secure, manage, and recover their data across hybrid and multicloud environments,” said Rampal Singh, Head of Hybrid Cloud Services, HCLTech. “The Cleanroom Recovery solution takes innovation to the next level, enabling us to pioneer a simpler, more intelligent, and achievable approach to cyber resilience.”

• Hitachi Vantara: “The launch of Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery represents a powerful addition to Hitachi Vantara’s robust data resilience offerings, and as a result, our shared goal of delivering true cloud security and resilience to customers has never been more attainable,” said Dan McConnell, Senior Vice President of Product Management for Digital Infrastructure, Hitachi Vantara. “Providing customers with the ability to test their cyber recovery plans in advance, along with having a clean recovery point, fills a critical gap in the marketplace today.”

• Kyndryl: “Given the changing Regulatory landscape with focus on new and updated Regulatory Technical Standards coming into effect, Cyber Regulation Readiness is a top priority for C-suite and executive board members – they need to know their organization’s data will be secure, recoverable, and quickly operational following an attack,” said Allen Downs, Vice President, Global Resiliency Domain Leader, Kyndryl. “The mindset is – “Business Operational Risk” and the ability to execute and report on their ability to Recover is critical. This is driving the need for mature capabilities to protect and maintain a verifiable copy of critical Data, and driving the need for new workflow processes including Cleanroom Recovery to detect and verify data is free of infection, both to and from a secure airgap immutable Cyber Vault. Capabilities like Cleanroom Recovery enable us to help deliver on this mandate, giving customers a secure, clean space for testing and recovery that balances cost with risk mitigation – now that is true ‘cyber resilience by design’.”

Users can expect to see significantly faster upload speeds for smaller files without any change to durability, availability, or pricing. The faster data upload bolsters security and enhances data protection by securing data in the offsite backup faster, limiting the time that the data is vulnerable.

“Our partnership with Parablu validates our commitment to provide customers with secure, scalable, and affordable data protection and management solutions,” said David Ngo, Chief Product Officer at Backblaze. “We share Parablu’s passion for protecting data in M365 and look forward to serving more businesses in this space as we coordinate our efforts.”

Backblaze’s ability to enable immutable storage is a welcome benefit to all Parablu customers, especially those with multi-national and data sovereignty requirements. Further benefits of the partnership include granular management of M365 items and individual files, instant Cyber-Resiliency, Anomaly-Detection and Ransomware Alert and Recovery, and simplistic administration for storage and data management. Additionally, users can also use Backblaze as a storage target enabling ease of migration to newer and different operating systems.

Parablu’s Chief Strategy Officer / CTO, Randy De Meno added; “Partnering with Backblaze offers our customers a secure, cost-efficient storage alternative. We’ve witnessed a growing demand for secure, fast, and affordable storage that compliments public cloud storage and we look forward to continued innovation with Backblaze.”

Assured’s rapid data center rollout model guarantees new facilities can be operational within weeks in any global location

Herndon, VA, US, and Leeds, UK, April 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Assured Data Protection (Assured), the prominent IT managed services provider for cloud data protection solutions, today announced the launch of its first Canadian data center, designed to meet the data sovereignty requirements of local customers. In establishing this latest data center, Assured continues to build on its vision of making sophisticated data protection accessible worldwide.

Increasingly, customers are looking to Assured to help them navigate complex data sovereignty and privacy laws, in addition to their disaster recovery and immutable backup needs. This can pose challenges for non-U.S. organizations that may have their own data sovereignty and privacy regulations to comply with, preventing them from having data reside in a U.S. facility. The same can also apply to U.S. organizations with Canadian subsidiaries. It’s in response to this need and the opportunities presented by the size of the data protection market in Canada, that Assured has established this data center.

The new Canadian data center also helps customers overcome potential issues related to latency in data transfer for organizations needing to utilize a North American data center from a distant geographical location, which can present responsiveness challenges in specific situations.

Assured’s rapid data center rollout model
As a company that is committed to meeting the evolving needs of customers, Assured has established a model that guarantees a new data center can be brought online in a matter of weeks following approval, instead of months. This efficient process is achieved by utilizing a standard footprint and design that can be easily matched to customer needs and rapidly deployed.

Ian Thompson, Global Chief Security Officer of Assured Data Protection, commented: “The new Canadian data center represents an exciting and strategic opportunity for Assured, and one that will provide real value to organizations in Canada, the U.S. and beyond. It demonstrates Assured’s commitment to serve our growing global customer base in alignment with their changing needs, which go beyond disaster recovery. Data sovereignty and privacy are critical concerns for all sectors now and we’re pleased to be able to serve this growing need. We’ll continue to expand our global data center footprint in line with demand, using our rapid rollout model.”

Ghazal Asif, VP, Global Channels & Alliances at Rubrik said: “As a trusted partner, Rubrik is proud to support Assured’s new Canadian data center—an important step in meeting global customers where they are. This expanded data center footprint can help even more organizations manage business requirements to better enable cyber resilience.”

• Launches industry’s first self-defending data protection solution
• Announces new AI-powered copilot
• Expands Veritas 360 Defense with new security partners

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – April 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Veritas Technologies, the leader in secure multi-cloud data resilience, today announced artificial intelligence (AI)-powered advancements in Veritas 360 Defense. With the industry’s first self-defending data protection solution, a generative AI-powered operational copilot and new ecosystem partners, organizations can more rapidly recover from ransomware attacks.

Matt Waxman, senior vice president and general manager of data protection at Veritas, said: “Cyber criminals are now using sophisticated AI tools to increase the frequency, speed and scale of their attacks, overwhelming data protection teams. At the same time, organizations are less likely to be hiring additional data protection specialists. This leaves both existing specialists and new generalists in need of additional support. The solution is intelligent data management tools that act as a sidekick to guide them in their fight against cybercrime.”

Industry’s First Adaptive Self-Defending Data Protection Solution
Cybercriminals are increasingly trying to corrupt backup data using the stolen credentials of administrators. Veritas is introducing a new self-defending data protection solution—a first-of-its-kind in the data protection industry. Veritas NetBackup and Veritas Alta Data Protection will continuously monitor and defend themselves against threats from compromised data protection user credentials. Beyond detecting anomalies in administrative user behaviors, the protection solutions will automatically flag unusual administrator behavior and autonomously adjust security parameters—such as multifactor authentication and multi-person authentication—to lock down access to data and protect it against attacks.

Veritas Alta Copilot Streamlines, Simplifies and Optimizes Cyber Resilience
Veritas Alta Copilot has been designed using the latest large language models to reduce the complexity of enterprise data management and is now available for users of Veritas Alta View. It can create sophisticated reports to monitor data protection infrastructure through simple conversation in natural language, quickly identify cyber vulnerabilities and operational inefficiencies, proactively assist with troubleshooting and guide users through complex data management tasks.

Alta Copilot has been trained with Veritas best practices and product documentation. It empowers multi-tasking IT generalists to drive the level of optimal performance from their technology investment typically only achieved with management and configuration by highly specialized experts.

Matt Neubauer, chief information officer at Morgans, said: “AI-powered solutions from Veritas could help us transform how we approach data protection. They will be able to not only anticipate threats but also streamline our data management operations, saving us time and freeing up resources to focus on transformational activity.”

Veritas 360 Defense Vendor Ecosystem Expands to Simplify End-to-End Cyber Resilience
Five new security partners have joined the Veritas 360 Defense ecosystem for increased threat monitoring, protection and recoverability. The expanded roster of partners includes Securonix, a leader in next-generation security information and event management, user and entity behavior analytics and security orchestration automation and response.

Mark Stevens, global vice president of channels and alliances at Securonix, said: “A rise in AI-driven, social-engineered credential abuse attacks is putting all applications and data at risk. With Securonix joining the Veritas 360 Defense ecosystem, Veritas customers will be able to easily access an early warning from our AI-powered detection solution that stolen credentials are being used across a wide range of other applications. This will enable them—or their Veritas AI tools—to trigger enhanced security measures for their protection environments before they’re compromised.”

Waxman concluded: “Cyber resilience continues to be a team sport. As cybercriminals change their offense strategy from attacking systems to attacking the people who operate them, the security community needs to come together to adapt its defense strategy. No one can do this alone; everyone needs both partners and AI on their side.”

Learn more about today’s announcements from Veritas.

About Veritas
Veritas Technologies is the leader in secure multi-cloud data management. Over 80,000 customers—including 91% of the Fortune 100—rely on Veritas to help ensure the protection, recoverability and compliance of their data. Veritas has a reputation for reliability at scale, which delivers the resilience its customers need against the disruptions threatened by cyberattacks, like ransomware. No other vendor can match Veritas’ ability to execute, with support for 800+ data sources, 100+ operating systems and 1,400+ storage targets through a single, unified approach. Powered by Cloud Scale Technology, Veritas is delivering today on its strategy for Autonomous Data Management that reduces operational overhead while delivering greater value.

Coveware by Veeam will bring industry-leading cyber-extortion incident response services and proactive enterprise preparedness to Veeam’s existing ransomware protection and recovery capabilities. Coveware will offer forensics and remediation capabilities through the Veeam Data Platform, as well as proactive services to Veeam Cyber Secure customers

SEATTLE, Wash. — April 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Veeam® Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, today announced the acquisition of Coveware, a leading provider in cyber-extortion incident response. It brings best-in-class ransomware recovery and first responder capabilities to further strengthen Veeam’s radical resilience solutions for customers.

Coveware by Veeam will continue to operate as it does today, providing incident response services to victims of cyber extortion attacks as well as working proactively with enterprise customers on incident response preparedness. Since its founding in 2018, Coveware has helped thousands of cyber extortion victims and developed industry leading software and services that enable rapid forensic triage, extortion negotiation and remediation, cryptocurrency settlements and decryption services with a singular goal and outcome – data recovery from ransomware attacks. Through these incidents, Coveware has gathered data and insights on threat actor patterns that provide Coveware and Veeam with an unrivaled view of the current threat landscape. These valuable findings are shared with customers to help educate and reduce risks, improve security posture, and ensure rapid recovery. Select Coveware by Veeam capabilities will be incorporated into Veeam offerings including Veeam Data Platform and the Veeam Cyber Secure Program, delivering the insights and capabilities to a broader set of customers.

“It’s no longer a question of when your organization is attacked, but how often. Seventy-six percent of organizations have been attacked over the past twelve months, and addressing that cyber threat is critical for every enterprise,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO at Veeam. “It’s critical to ensure data is safe and protected, and when the worst happens businesses can recover quickly and safely. Coveware is already helping enterprises across the world improve their defense and if the worst happens, helping them recover. Combining those capabilities with Veeam’s #1 data protection and ransomware recovery solutions, which are used by over 450,000 customers, creates the most complete set of cyber resilience capabilities available from one source. Veeam now provides enterprise customers with proactive threat intelligence that helps identify any security gaps with forensic triage and decryption, all combined with the capabilities of the market leader.”

Coveware by Veeam

Coveware by Veeam will continue to be available to customers as a full-featured offering, including:

• Fully automated technology that runs across the client’s operational environment to perform forensic triage analysis which assesses any impact, identifies the ransomware (strain, threat actor group, entry point), and helps recover encrypted data from known ransomware groups – though nothing is as safe as secure, clean backups. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform helps visualize the data and answer critical questions regarding any attack.
• A global team of cyber threat experts around the world who have worked with many of the world’s largest companies to assess, prevent and recover from cyber-attacks.
• Access to continuously updated data on ransomware variants, attack vector analysis, attack footprints, and recovery options that enable better prevention and faster recovery.

“Recovering from cyber incidents is extremely difficult,” said Bill Siegel, CEO and co-founder at Coveware by Veeam. “Our goal is to minimize the cost of disruption by providing best-in-class incident response tools and services. The threat intelligence gathered from our incident response work also benefits our proactive large enterprise clients – 41% of which are in the Fortune 500 – reduce their risk and increase their resiliency.” CTO and co-founder of Coveware by Veeam, Alex Holdtman further emphasized that, “working as part of Veeam brings the distribution of these capabilities to many more customers around the world, which is an incredibly exciting opportunity for our entire team.”

Veeam will also incorporate elements of Coveware technology into the Veeam Data Platform and through the Veeam Cyber Secure Program, which provides customers with cyber protection and support including pre, during and post-support of cyber incidents, and a $5 million warranty.

“Many organizations with data backups still decide to pay the ransom,” said Phil Goodwin, Research Vice President at IDC. “Our research shows this is often because the backup did not include necessary system images for recovery. In cases where the ransom was paid because ‘the data backups were incomplete,’ 58% of respondents said backup system failures contributed to the problem. gaps. Coveware gives Veeam a more proactive stance toward cyber protection. Combining Veeam’s backup capabilities with Coveware’s encryption-defeating technology should yield faster time-to-detection and faster time-to-recover, minimizing the impact of an attack. A recent IDC survey found that 70% of organizations reported they take days or weeks to recover from ransomware, while the best-practice time-to-recovery is less than 24 hours. Adding Coveware’s technology to Veeam Data Platform and Veeam Cyber Secure Program gives Veeam customers interesting new technology and a range of options for rapid malware detection and recovery.”

E.W. Wylie, a trucking company based in the United States, brings down the cost of backup and recovery by 50% with NAKIVO

Sparks, NV – April 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — NAKIVO Inc., a fast-growing software company for protecting physical, virtual, and cloud environments, has announced today that E.W.Wylie has selected NAKIVO Backup & Replication to protect their environment.

E.W. Wylie has been in the trucking industry since 1938. The company has a fleet of trucks and drivers for small, medium, and Fortune 500 companies. The team includes both company drivers and owner-operators. The company offers general freight hauling, a brokerage department, and an asset-based fleet.

E.W. Wylie relies on enterprise-grade data centers across the United States and Canada, with the head office in Fargo, North Dakota. Currently, there are two main sites in the U.S. and Canada and ten remote sites.

Between the various sites, the company has some 40 physical servers and 80 VMware VMs. Virtual machines store user data, personal information, application data, emails, Microsoft SQL for customer data, vehicles and accounting data, software for vehicle maps and routes data, etc.

Backup, replication, and recovery are critical for E.W. Wylie, not only for security and safety reasons but also to meet the requirements established by SOX and other governmental entities as part of the company’s SOP compliance. If backup and recovery are missing or critical data gets compromised, business continuity will be heavily impacted, since everything about the trucking business is data-centered.

E.W. Wylie relied on another VM backup solution and had physical servers for backup. Most backup jobs failed to be completed successfully and most recoveries failed or timed out due to slow equipment. Moreover, backup and recovery times were way too long due to the previous VM backup solution relying on obsolete equipment. Lastly, the graphical user interface was complicated and difficult to navigate.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides ease of installation, various functionalities, and 24/7 support. The product can be installed on Windows or Linux, deployed as a VA, or installed on different NAS devices.

“We did our due diligence online and found NAKIVO Backup & Replication to be reliable, easy-to-use, scalable, and efficient,” says Michel Gyebi, IT Network and Systems Engineer at E.W.Wylie. “We currently have a five-socket perpetual license and 305 Exchange Online accounts in Microsoft 365, covering two QNAPs that mirror each other through backup copy. The user interface is much better to navigate and operate than that of our previous product.”

NAKIVO Backup & Replication provides agentless, application-aware, and incremental backups for efficient and reliable data protection. “We have daily, weekly, and monthly backups. On average, we need anywhere between 30 minutes and four hours to complete all the backup jobs. The automatic backup copy integration is important as the functionality gives us peace of mind in redundancy. Having the opportunity to have a backup copy of our backups at another location is awesome,” says Michel.

The LAN-free data transfer feature from NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows organizations to reduce the impact of data protection activities on business-critical operations. The feature boosts job speed, optimizes network resources and reduces the impact on core operations. “NAKIVO’s LAN-free data transfer feature eliminates the bandwidth overhead often associated with other backup and recovery systems and accelerates data transfer,” says Michel.

NAKIVO Backup & Replication also provides instant VM and instant granular recovery for near-zero RTO and RPOs. “Instant VM recovery is fast and error-free, and we are able to resume our operations in minutes. Instant granular recovery provides easy navigation and recovery of files and folders,” says Michel.

With IT Monitoring for VMware by NAKIVO, IT administrators can gain complete visibility into the environment and manage resource allocation, networking, and data protection. IT administrators can customize alerts and generate reports about CPU, RAM, VMs, and datastores. “IT monitoring provides a one-stop monitoring page that is extremely useful for visualizing the overall performance status of your system,” says Michel.

By switching to NAKIVO Backup & Replication, E.W. Wylie gained better reliability, scalability, ease of use, and efficiency. The company improved the performance of backup and recovery jobs which are no longer failing, gained visibility into the health of their environment with IT Monitoring, and eliminated bandwidth overhead with LAN-free data transfer mode. Moreover, backup copy functionality helped the company to maintain multiple copies of backups at various locations and automate those workflows with the Job Chaining feature.

“NAKIVO Backup & Replication has brought down the cost of our backup and recovery solution by 50%. NAKIVO Backup & Replication has excellent, quick-to-respond, and knowledgeable customer support available 24/7,” says Michel. “We can now manage, scale, and customize our own backup processes without any third-party intervention or restrictions. NAKIVO Backup & Replication does not require constant modification or fine-tuning.”

New all-flash backup solution helps organizations better prepare, protect and rapidly recover from cyberattacks and other data risks

SAN JOSE, Calif. – April 23, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Quantum® Corporation (NASDAQ: QMCO), the pioneer in end-to-end data management solutions designed for the AI era, today announces DXi T-Series all-flash backup appliances to accelerate key data protection processes that help customers more effectively prepare, protect and recover critical IT operations from ransomware and other data risks. With data-intensive initiatives, like AI, a high priority, coupled with the continuing and ever-present threat of ransomware, data protection is an essential service across all organizations. The DXi T-Series expands the industry’s most efficient backup data management platform with compact, all-inclusive, all-flash appliances that are easy to deploy and use across edge, core and cloud for fast, efficient protection and recovery.

“With continued improvements in density, cost, performance, and energy efficiency, QLC flash is the right choice for the next generation of data protection, especially for mission-critical relational and NoSQL databases, file systems and object stores that fuel data-intensive workflows, data lakes and AI pipelines,” says Sanam Mittal, vice president, DXi engineering for Quantum. “With all-flash DXi T-Series backup appliances, our customers can more efficiently protect their data and quickly recover operations in the face of a widespread ransomware attack. These new solutions expand Quantum’s all-flash portfolio beyond Quantum Myriad™, StorNext™ and ActiveScale® file and object storage solutions to include DXi T-Series appliances optimized for data protection and rapid ransomware recovery.”

DXi backup appliances have long delivered simple, scalable backup, data protection, and disaster recovery across sites to give customers trusted business continuity. With the DXi T-Series, Quantum introduces the industry’s first all-flash target backup appliance designed for edge deployments, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), and mission-critical data storage infrastructure. The DXi T-Series helps customers proactively prepare and protect against cyberattacks, and, when attacked, rapidly recover their data.

The DXi T-Series all-flash platform achieves outstanding performance with ingest rates up to 113 terabytes per hour, providing up to 65 times faster backup rates and up to 13 times faster restore times compared to competitor appliance solutions based on hard disk drives. With DXi T-Series all-flash performance, customers can perform more aggressive backup schedules for better recovery point objectives (RPO), more regularly validate backup data sets and test recovery procedures, analyze backups for malware using proactive and real-time virus scanning, and achieve faster recovery time objectives (RTO) in case of attack. Plus, the DXi T-Series accelerates data rehydration to speed up other key workflows, including test and dev for analytics and application development, e-discovery and compliance, and long-term archiving.

Scaling from 15 to 120 usable terabytes in an optimized 1U form factor, DXi T-Series appliances benefit from Quantum’s patented data reduction technology to provide up to 70 times more efficient use of flash resources. With bundled replication, cloud tiering and immutability features plus a rich software ecosystem including Veeam, Veritas, and Commvault, DXi T-Series appliances seamlessly cooperate with DXi resources deployed across the edge, the core, and the cloud for end-to-end data protection.

“Our customers’ data protection requirements are rapidly evolving given the critical role data plays in their business operations,” says Kevin Corcoran, vice president of sales for Storage IT Solutions, a Midwestern data management solutions provider. “AI and other data-rich use cases are giving rise to growing data sets, longer retention, and increasing data access. The DXi T-Series helps us address the need for fast, simple and secure backups, and most importantly, enables our customers to quickly recover their data when faced with a ransomware attack or other data disasters.”

DXi T-Series backup appliances are planned for release in Q2 2024.

Reflecting growing customer demand to move data between platforms, Veeam extends major virtualization platforms protection with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager support in Veeam Data Platform, which already includes VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, Red Hat Virtualization and Red Hat OpenShift

SEATTLE, WA – April 18, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Veeam^® Software, the #1 leader by market share in Data Protection and Ransomware Recovery, today announced Veeam Data Platform support for host-based backups of VMs running on Oracle Linux KVM hypervisor. With today’s rapidly evolving virtualization and cloud landscapes, organizations are evaluating the best virtualization platforms for their specific business needs. In response, Veeam is expanding its support for platforms which provides increased freedom of choice for its 450,000 customers. Veeam Data Platform provides data security, data recovery, and data freedom to backup and use data from anywhere without platform or cloud lock-in.

“In talking with customers, the topic of data freedom is always high on their list,” said John Jester, Chief Revenue Officer at Veeam. “As the #1 leader in data protection and ransomware recovery, Veeam has always been committed to empowering customers with choice. That’s why we give customers peace of mind across all the platforms and systems they’re using – from the cloud to on-premises, and often hybrid. We don’t just protect their data; we make it easy for them to move that data as their needs change. Introducing support for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager further expands our unparalleled freedom of choice in virtualization, empowering businesses to select and migrate to the platforms that best suit their needs, while maintaining seamless data management, security and protection.”

With this added support for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager, users can achieve full protection at scale, leveraging entire VM and granular recoveries, secure and compliant backup lifecycle management and more.

Veeam Data Platform gives users even greater freedom of choice to best fit changing business needs for both virtualization and cloud, including:

• Multi-Platform Compatibility: Veeam’s solution seamlessly integrates with leading virtualization platforms and clouds, including VMware vSphere, VMware Cloud Director, VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware Cloud on AWS Outposts, VMware Cloud on Dell, Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, Microsoft Azure VMware Solution, Amazon AWS, Nutanix AHV, Red Hat Virtualization, Google Cloud, Google Cloud VMware Engine, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution and IBM Cloud, ensuring compatibility across diverse environments. All of this is unlocked with the powerful and portable Veeam Universal License.
• Data Mobility: Businesses can now select and easily migrate from one virtualization platform to another that best aligns with their specific requirements, without compromising on data management capabilities or vendor lock-in with a completely portable data format.
• Secure Data Protection: Veeam’s immutable backup, instant recovery and orchestrated resilience capabilities ensure the security and availability of critical data, regardless of the virtualization platform, safeguarding against potential threats and disruptions to keep businesses running.
• Improved Efficiency: By streamlining data management processes across heterogeneous virtualized environments including the hybrid cloud, Veeam’s solution enhances operational efficiency and reduces the complexity associated with managing diverse platforms.
• Unified Management Interface: With Veeam’s centralized management interface, users can efficiently monitor, manage, and protect data across multiple virtualization platforms from a single, intuitive dashboard.

“It’s bad enough to have to change hypervisors, but having to also change your data protection solution adds risk and uncertainty to an already chaotic year. As an Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) leader, it’s not enough for the platforms you choose to only meet the needs of today, they must also be responsive and flexible to support the unknown needs and data localities of tomorrow,” said John Annand, Director of Infrastructure at Info-Tech Research Group. “Veeam for Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager further enables the enterprise to put their workloads where it makes the most business sense rather than where it is easiest for I&O to secure and protect their data.”

Without the need to learn new tools, procure new hardware, or acquire new licensing, users are able to spend more time driving business initiatives and less time managing backups. Whether a large global enterprise or a small business changing hypervisors, adopting a public or hybrid cloud, or expanding across cloud, virtual and physical environments, Veeam provides freedom of choice for all organizations seeking transformation in today’s changing virtualization world.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – April 18, 2024 — / BackupReview.info / — Mulberri, an AI-driven insurance platform, today announced it has partnered with Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection, to embed Mulberri’s Cyber Insurance to Acronis small & medium-sized businesses customers based in the US.

Through this partnership, Acronis customers can opt-in for Mulberri’s embedded Cyber Insurance directly through the Acronis platform. This seamless embedded approach will streamline Cyber Insurance access to Acronis customers in minutes. Acronis natively integrates cybersecurity, data protection, and endpoint management for managed service providers (MSPs) and small and medium businesses (SMBs); however, added Cyber Insurance inserts a layer of protection. This partnership enables Acronis and Mulberri to provide end-to-end solutions to Acronis customers.

Mulberri’s Cyber Insurance is AM Best rated and it represents a significant step forward in the cyber insurance market, which has struggled to streamline insurance for SMBs. Extensive and complex underwriting questions paired with cumbersome enrollment steps have contributed to less than 5 percent of SMBs buying cyber insurance. Mulberri is seeking to change this. Mulberri Cyber Insurance is a unique product – a standalone policy, with $250,000 and $500,000 policy limits and fixed premiums – that is approved and regulated by state insurance authorities. The low premium and policy limit provide important base coverage while being affordable to any SMB.

“Our embedded partners are used to having to think twice about selling cyber insurance to SMBs as it slows down the sales process with questions and due diligence,” said Hamesh Chawla, co-founder and CEO, at Mulberri. “We have removed these barriers and lowered the policy limit, creating an entry level program meant to provide cyber insurance coverage to businesses that have not had it in the past. We are thrilled to contribute to SMBs having peace of mind that they are covered against increasingly common cyber-attacks that can have catastrophic consequences on their businesses.”

Mulberri’s Embedded Cyber Insurance consists of three main value propositions:

• Simple: Same base coverages provided in all policies, reducing confusion and complexity; Pricing structure based on revenues, presented in a straightforward matrix format; Requires answering just one question
• Frictionless: Simplified and streamlined underwriting process to minimize the steps involved in purchasing and binding the policy
• Embedded: Seamlessly integrates the cyber insurance policy into the sales cycle

Cyber Insurance is just one of the ways Mulberri is reinventing embedded insurance. Mulberri is also exploring other innovations in terms of product offerings and embedded partners as the company continues to create simple and frictionless insurance and risk management solutions for SMBs.
