Recovery is the first thing attackers try to break. Modern incidents focus on disrupting the systems that bring the business back online, not just the data itself. When recovery slows, outage time increases, costs spike, and pressure rises across every part of the organization. A fast, clean restore is now a fundamental measure of resilience. Data protection has also become more complex. Workloads stretch across data centers, multiple public clouds, SaaS platforms, and edge environments. With each platform comes new dependencies, shared responsibility expectations, and recovery fail points. In multicloud environments, recovery risk compounds because identity, data access and recovery workflows behave differently by platform, making coordination harder when time and certainty matter most. Teams are navigating a larger, more distributed footprint with more risk and less margin for error.
