Phishing attacks ramped up to historic levels at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that it’s been two years since these highs, IDG checked in with 300 IT executives across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to learn their current levels of concern about phishing.
They found 93% of executives were still concerned about phishing, with 61% highly concerned. It’s no wonder – companies reported an average of 18 attacks each in the past 12 months.
And victims of phishing cited serious consequences:
• 37% suffered downtime lasting longer than a day
• 32% experienced lost productivity
• 19% had to pay legal or regulatory fines
Together, IDG and OpenText share successful strategies for defending against these kinds of attacks. Download the full report to read their insights and recommendations for protecting against phishing as well as other kinds of cyberattacks.

Together, they are delivering a fast, scalable, feature-rich solution for backup, recovery and ransomware prevention and remediation.
"Organizations are demanding much more from the data protection process. The demands come down to recovering faster and retaining data longer.
Today, backup software can recover in-place, instantiating volumes directly on the backup storage which enables organizations to significantly reduce recovery windows. The performance of the backup storage hardware, keeping the hardware costs associated with storing this data, and adhering to the new compliance regulations — both retention requirements and new data privacy demands — all play critical roles.
Learn how NetApp and Veeam can deliver a complete, modern data protection storage platform with data tiering capabilities through an integrated storage and software solution."
