Commvault welcomes industry veteran Ashley Baird to lead the company’s rapidly expanding hyperscaler business

Ransomware is malware that denies a user or organisation access to files in their environment.

To handle data in today’s world, businesses need to secure it, defend against threats and be able to recover in case of an incident.

Effective data management practices translate into information that is simple to access and analyse in order to guide business decisions, says Saul Wamalwa, regional manager for West, East and Central Africa at Commvault.

African countries such as Kenya, Nigeria and Ghana face a number of key Information Technology (IT) and business challenges, including exploding cost of managing data, a dearth of skills and increasing growth of cyber-attacks on organisations.

The need for modern cyber resilience has never been greater. If, for example, an organization is unable to recover from an attack in a matter of hours, that can directly impact brand reputations and customer loyalty.

Data protection is evolving at a rapid pace, encompassing a broader framework that goes beyond traditional backup and recovery.

The company unveiled its Metallic: Salesforce Backup, Recovery & Sandbox Seeding – Unlimited Storage on Salesforce AppExchange.

More than 100,000 organisations have chosen Commvault to protect their business critical data.

Signaling the next phase in its evolution, Commvault is helping businesses secure, defend, and recover their data to meet increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats head on.

The evolution of data management is continuous and the recent announcement of Commvault Platform Release 2023 (Commvault PR 2023) – is testimony of this, the latest development of a 27-year journey of customer-driven innovation.

Ransomware is a global issue facing almost all organisations whose businesses depend on or leverage information technology, and organisations in Africa are no exception.
