Hackers can do a lot of damage in just a few seconds. In 2020, ransomware attacks cost U.S. government organizations around $18.9 billion in terms of downtime and recovery costs. This includes destruction of data, theft of intellectual property, removal and restoration of compromised data and systems, unhappy constituents who were unable to access key infrastructure and government services, not to mention reputational harm. During this Public Sector Tech Talk, NetApp joins WWT to provide insight on how to secure and protect public sector organizations against today's top cybersecurity concerns, discuss trends in recent ransomeware attacks, and share best practices for protecting government agencies against malicious actors who intend to prevent the delivery of mission-critical services.

Every government agency is creating and collecting massive amounts of data, making storage and security of that data a significant business consideration. In fact, IDC predicts that by 2025, there will be well over 100 zettabytes of data generated and that number is only going to grow exponentially. How can agencies navigate this influx of data? Optimization will be key. This Public Sector Tech Talk episode will address how a cloud data management approach can help agencies more efficiently and effectively store, manage and access data on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment. Additionally, it will provide details on how this approach supports compliance, security and regulatory requirements for government agencies.

More than ever, government agencies need to be able to deploy data wherever it needs to be whether that's on-prem, in a private cloud or in the public cloud. Providing the flexibility to adapt to changing work conditions while containing costs and keeping data available, secure, and accessible is critical. But how? NetApp and WWT help the public sector build and fully realize a data fabric by providing a cloud lead, data centered approach to digital modernization. NetApp enables organizations to confidently manage and maintain control of their data across any cloud, accelerating innovation and IT responsiveness. By providing a data fabric that spans private cloud, service providers and hyperscale cloud providers, NetApp allows organizations to embrace the cloud on their own terms by integrating enterprise-class data management and control with the flexibility, speed and economics of the public cloud.
