Veritas Technologies,a leader in multi-cloud data management, today announced the results of a new study revealing that many UAE<\/a> enterprises are racing ahead with the adoption of Kubernetes into mission-critical environments. According to the research, 88% of UAE businesses are expecting to deploy the technology in the next two to three years, and a third already relying on it today. However, the majority are underprepared to face the threat against their Kubernetes environments: just35% of UAE businesses who have deployed Kubernetes so far have tools in place to protect against data-loss incidents such as ransomware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research, which gathered the opinions of 1,100 senior IT decision makers from the UAE and around the world,found that 67% of UAE organisations thathad deployed Kubernetes had already experienced a ransomware attack on their containerised environments, while a staggering 85% of UAE respondents said that ransomware attacks on Kubernetes environments are an issue for their businesses today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnny Karam, Managing Director & Vice President of International Emerging Region at Veritas, said: \u201cKubernetes offers a world of benefits for businesses \u2013 it\u2019s affordable, flexible, scalable and really easy to deploy\u2013 so it\u2019s no wonder UAE enterprises are embracing containerisation. Unfortunately, this can mean it\u2019s really easy for organisations to surge ahead faster with their Kubernetes implementation than their Kubernetes protection. Suddenly, they\u2019ve found themselves with over two-thirds of their mission-critical Kubernetes environments completely unprotected from data loss. Although the benefits of Kubernetes are vast, protection measures must keep pace so that Kubernetes doesn\u2019t become the Achilles heel in businesses\u2019 ransomware defence strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siloed solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all (99%)UAE respondents believe that there are benefits to taking an integrated approach to protecting their at-risk data sets by extending their existing data protection from their traditional workloads out across their containerised environments. Yet, just 29% of UAE organisations are currently following this model while the rest are complicating their protection environments with stand-alone products for some, or all,of their Kubernetes protection.This could be because nearly half (47%) of respondents said that they know little or nothing about solutions that could protect data across traditional, virtual and Kubernetes environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest risks associated with siloed data protection solutions were identified by the research as \u2018higher costs of deploying multiple solutions\u2019 and \u2018an increased likelihood of data being missed from protection sets\u2019. Meanwhile the most compelling reasons amongst respondents for adopting a single solution to protect data against data loss and ransomware attacks were \u2018cost savings over deploying multiple solutions\u2019 and \u2018reduced likelihood of data being missed from protection sets\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More protection in the future<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research shows that UAE businesses expect to be able to achieve better protection of their Kubernetes environments over time, with 36% of organisations believing that ransomware will not be an issue here five years on. This aligns with increased spending on protection for containerised data. UAE companies expect to be spending an average of 62% more in this area in five years\u2019 time than they do today, which will leave less than 6% of them without data protection in place for their mission-critical Kubernetes environments.66% of UAE organisations expect that future investment in their protection infrastructures will leave them \u201cvery well prepared\u201d for ransomware attacks on Kubernetes environments in the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karam continued: \u201cOur research shows that UAE organisations clearly understand the value of protecting the mission-critical data that they\u2019re using in their Kubernetes environments. It\u2019s reassuring to see that they are on the right path to full protection. However, a lot can happen in five years, especially in the fast-moving cybercrime world, where sophisticated ransomware variants can emerge over that time to target Kubernetes and exploit this vulnerability while it exists. To ensure they don\u2019t leave themselves open to attack, organisations should take advantage of the opportunity to consolidate their current data protection platforms to cover their Kubernetes environments today,along with all other data wherever it resides.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
