The majority of IT and Security professionals fear that their cyber strategy isn't enough to combat today's cyber threats. In fact, more than 70% believe it would take over four days to recover from a cyber attack. It's no wonder almost 3 in 4 say their company would pay a ransom to recover data and restore business processes. Of course, when dealing with cybercriminals, there's no guarantee paying a ransom means your data will be recovered-or that if it is recovered, it'll be clean and free of malware.

These are some of the results of the latest annual State of Data Security and Management report. Join this webinar to hear more from our latest annual State of Data Security and Management Survey and about how IT and Security leaders are taking charge against cyber threats in the cloud era.
