Building Data Resiliency in the Cloud: Five Things You Need to Know

Across the federal government, agencies are going through a transformational reckoning about their data. The move to cloud has opened up opportunities for scalability, flexibility, and cost-saving that allows agencies to reimagine how to meet mission goals.

This increases the need to evolve your protection strategy to mitigate new risk that might emerge. Protecting this data is crucial – as is ensuring users can access the data despite any disruption of service (known as data resiliency). This report explores the top five things you need to know about the role of data resiliency in government agencies.
