It’s becoming more difficult to develop that plan as the definition of data that businesses must protect expands, though planning is still an important initial step.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/it-pros-verify-data-protection-plans-are-working-properly/)

The majority of IT gurus specialize in handling PCs and servers, but new technologies like tablets, smartphones and even smartwatches require a new set of IT skills to ensure enterprise data is secure and understandable.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/it-teams-must-learn-new-skills-manage-mobility/)

Cyber attacks, data theft, data loss and security breaches are just a few of the worries that financial firms have to face when it comes to producing and storing their digital data. "The result of any of these could end up costing millions, or even billions of dollars," writes Marc J. Firenze, CTO at Eagle Investment Systems. However, the promise of aggregating this information and using it to improve company systems can be looked at as an opportunity that outweighs the risk.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/finance-big-data-big-headache-or-big-opportunity/)

Nobody can tell you better than the actual user how the solution works, how the deployment process went, and what support they are getting. Especially so in DR space: customers don’t like talking about it, as if being (even potentially) associated with a disaster makes them look bad. Only those who really trust their solution, have tested it and know it works, are capable to freely share this information. Some even see it as a competitive advantage – like in case, the statement “Your Money is Safe with Us” goes beyond and above of what it usually implies when coming from a bank with strong, proven DR solution in place. Your data is safe, your applications will be accessible, and our service will be available. In the end of the day, it’s all about peace of mind – for the management, internal users, and their customers.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/highland-bank-your-money-and-data-applications-services-are-safe-us/)

Migrating data from legacy data centers to the latest architectures and tools is a complicated process that can be timely and can result in data loss if not carried out correctly. To simplify the process and save on costs, these government agencies are using the cloud in a backup role, as a resource to absorb any data spikes that can occur and as a disaster recovery unit.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/city-governments-turn-cloud-data-recovery/)

But health care organizations have been slower to follow suit.

Whether it's a new doctor form, a purchase form, or a crowdfunding campaign, most people in today's world have given some pretty intimate details away on the Web. Before the advent of the Internet, this information was usually stored in a file folder behind a desk. Today, though, if not protected properly, it can show up in a myriad of unwanted, sometimes very public places.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/report-data-breach-cases-rise-companies-must-rebuild-trust/)

For a gargantuan company like Amazon, data loss and its associated downtime could cost more than $65 million per minute. For small and medium businesses, downtime can be equally painful. In a joint study, Acronis and IDC found that 80 percent of SMBs estimate that data recovery costs $20,000 per hour. The remaining 20 percent put that figure at more than $100,000 per hour. Beyond these initial data recovery costs, companies incur additional costs from lost goodwill and legal fines even after their data is restored. In fact, according to a recent study from IBM into the “hidden costs” of data breaches, having one million compromised records costs an average of nearly $40 million. Additionally, these large-scale breaches take 100 days longer than smaller breaches to detect and contain.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/3-2-1-simple-rule-complex-data-protection/)

The Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder Telescope streams 2.8 GB of data every second — which would take nearly two million years to play back on a music player — and the Hubble Space Telescope transmits 120 GB of science data every week — comparable to 3,600 feet of books on a shelf.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/behind-scenes-space-protecting-extraordinary-amounts-data/)
