Ensuring the resiliency and protection of critical information is paramount. This collaboration brings forth a heightened focus on data resiliency and business continuity. Organizations will gain access to robust data protection solutions, including backup and recovery, disaster recovery, and archiving, enabling them to safeguard their data across diverse environments.

Furthermore, global companies will enhance their ability to adapt to evolving security threats and regulatory requirements.

Data Protection Risk Assessment 

The Data Protection Risk Assessment service delivers a maturity risk assessment that reviews a customer’s IT infrastructure and backups against industry best practices. Kyndryl leverages its cyber resilience framework to run an analysis that identifies risks, unknown gaps, and vulnerabilities, with Veritas IT Analytics as the core. This assessment delivers a risk scorecard that allows flexibility to customize with unique requirements, policies, and processes, providing customers the visibility and information they need to better manage and protect their data.

Incident Recovery with Veritas

Incident Recovery with Veritas is a fully managed service encompassing backup, disaster recovery, and cyber recovery that uses Veritas software to allow for quick recovery in the event of a cyber incident. With Kyndryl Consult, Incident Recovery with Veritas enables clients to mitigate risk and avoid the high cost of a data breach by using differentiated features such as air-gapped protection, immutable storage, anomaly detection, and recovery automation.

Ultimately, both solutions simplify complex data workflows, streamline data movement, and enable intelligent decision-making through advanced analytics, providing scalability and performance.
