The avg org runs 2.8 Backup Products
How many backup products does your org actually run? Only 7% of orgs run a single backup and recovery stack; the avg org runs 2.8 data protection solutions.

Cybersecurity Summit 2026
The Official Cybersecurity Summit is one of my favorite single-stage conference series, especially this year with four Data Protection vendors showing on the expo floor – with special kudos to Rubrik and Commvault for some really interesting discussions on Cyber Resilience and more.
