What is EU digital sovereignty? Digital sovereignty in the context of the European Union is related to Europe’s capabilities to govern its own data, technology, and digital infrastructure without relying on foreign powers or third-party platforms. The concept that started off as a political ambition is now a full-fledged regulatory reality that shapes the way…
It is perhaps impossible to predict all of the possible failures and/or catastrophic events when it comes to data in the modern world. Each business should do their best to protect against losing their data, which, if a significant amount was lost, would likely mean either starting from scratch or even suffering fatal damage to…
Are you in the high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, or quantum technologies field? There is one event in Europe not to be missed every year. ISC High Performance (formerly known as the International Supercomputing Conference) brings together the global High-Performance Computing (HPC) community to share ideas, debate, and showcase the technology shaping the next decade of…
InterSystems IRIS represents a cutting-edge data platform that requires robust backup and restore strategies to maintain database integrity and ensure business continuity. Organizations relying on IRIS technology must implement comprehensive procedures to protect their valuable data from loss in the event of hardware failures, human errors, or disaster scenarios. This article explores the essential aspects…
Advanced BeeGFS Backup requires careful planning and a structured backup strategy to ensure data integrity across nodes; begin with a minimal backup of important system components, including metadata targets, configuration files, and critical binaries, before making any infrastructure changes. For operators managing more complex environments, it is important to review advanced topics such as snapshot…
Introduction: Shifting the Focus from Prevention to Recovery For the majority of the last 20 years, the primary investment case for cybersecurity has been centered around prevention: firewalls, endpoint protection, threat intelligence and keeping attackers out at all costs. The concept made sense when incidents were less frequent and more containable. This approach makes far…
Introduction: Why Do Backups Matter for Cassandra? Cassandra is built to never go down. Cassandra backup matters, as without a proper backup in place, important data can be at risk of being lost. While replication serves as an important component that protects from hardware failures, it does not protect against data loss. Therefore, having a…
Bacula Systems’ flagship product, Bacula Enterprise, has been named the 2026 Data Quadrant Champion for the Data Replication category by Info‑Tech Research Group’s SoftwareReviews platform. This recognition places Bacula Enterprise at the very top of the quadrant-furthest up and to the right-and acknowledges its strength across product capabilities, customer satisfaction and vendor experience. Understanding Info‑Tech’s…
What Is IEC 62443 and Why Does It Matter? The IEC 62443 series is a widely used international framework that defines technical and procedural requirements for securing Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) and Operational Technology (OT). This OT security standard reduces risk, improves resilience, and strengthens industrial security posture. The IEC 62443 framework is…
What is the Current Landscape of Mainframe Backup and Disaster Recovery? In an IT environment – enterprise IT, in particular – mainframe backup remains one of the most critical and often-underestimated disciplines. Financial transactions, insurance files and governmental programs are all becoming more and more reliant on mainframes, meaning that the risks of system downtime…
Domain admin accounts live under a microscope. Security teams track who holds them, what systems they touched, and when. Backup infrastructure rarely gets the same level of scrutiny, and the Veeam and N-central cases we cover later in this article show exactly what that costs. A big chunk of that is a perception problem. Backup…
Zero Trust’s Promise and the Blind Spot Overview of modern zero‑trust architectures and their focus on users, devices and networks There is a reason why zero-trust is the current security paradigm for business security. By relying on the “never trust, always verify” mentality, it removes the implicit trust associated with being “inside the perimeter” –…
