NEWS RELEASE


KUBERNETES AN ACHILLES HEEL IN DEFENSE AGAINST RANSOMWARE ATTACKS


RESEARCH REVEALS 89% OF ORGANIZATIONS SAY RANSOMWARE ATTACKS IN KUBERNETES
ENVIRONMENTS ARE A RISK, YET THEY ARE DANGEROUSLY SLOW TO EXTEND DATA PROTECTION
SOLUTIONS

 

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 16, 2022 – Veritas Technologies, a leader in
multi-cloud data management, today announced the results of a new study
revealing that the majority of organizations are underprepared to face threats
against their Kubernetes environments. Kubernetes is being rapidly deployed into
mission-critical environments in organizations around the world, the research
showed, with 86% of organizations expecting to deploy the technology in the next
two to three years, and one-third already relying on it today. However, just 33%
of organizations who have deployed Kubernetes so far have tools in place to
protect against data loss incidents such as ransomware.

The research, which gathered the opinions of 1,100 senior IT decision makers
globally, found that 48% of organizations that have deployed Kubernetes have
already experienced a ransomware attack on their containerized environments,
while a staggering 89% of respondents said that ransomware attacks on Kubernetes
environments are an issue for their organizations today.

Anthony Cusimano, solutions evangelist at Veritas, said: “Kubernetes is easy for
organizations to deploy, and quickly improves affordability, flexibility and
scalability—it’s no wonder so many are embracing containerization. But because
deployment is so simple, organizations can easily surge ahead faster with their
Kubernetes implementation than their Kubernetes protection. Suddenly, they’ve
found themselves with two-thirds of their mission-critical Kubernetes
environments completely unprotected from data loss. Kubernetes has become the
Achilles heel in organizations’ ransomware defense strategies.”

Siloed Solutions

Organizations are missing the opportunity to deliver rapid protection to these
at-risk data sets by failing to extend their existing data protection from their
traditional workloads out across their containerized environments. Just 40% of
organizations are currently following this model, while the rest are
complicating their protection environments with standalone products for some or
all of their Kubernetes protection. They are doing this even though 99% of
respondents believe there would be benefits to taking an integrated approach.
This could be because nearly half (44%) of respondents said that they know
little or nothing about solutions that could protect data across traditional,
virtual and Kubernetes environments.

The biggest risks associated with siloed data protection solutions were
identified by the research as “a more complex or lengthy data restore process
after a data-loss incident” and “a higher cost of deploying multiple solutions.”
Meanwhile, the most compelling reasons among respondents for adopting a single
solution to protect data against data loss and ransomware attacks were “a
simplified restore process” and “a single place to manage protection data.”

More Protection in the Future

The research showed that organizations expect to be able to achieve better
protection of their Kubernetes environments over time, with 29% of organizations
believing that ransomware will not be an issue five years from now. This aligns
with increased spending on protection for containerized data—organizations
expect to spend an average of 49% more in this area in five years’ time than
they do today, which will leave less than 3% of them without data protection in
place for their mission-critical Kubernetes environments. Furthermore, 61% of
organizations expect that future investment in their protection infrastructures
will leave them “very well prepared” for ransomware attacks on Kubernetes
environments in the next five years.


Cusimano continued: “It’s clear that organizations around the world understand
the value of protecting the mission-critical data they’re using in their
Kubernetes environments. And it’s great that it seems they’ll eventually get the
protection that they need. However, if a week is a long time in politics, five
years is a very long time in data protection, and we expect to see more and more
ransomware variants emerge over that time that target Kubernetes and take
advantage of this Achilles heel. Too many organizations are missing the simple
solution to extend their current data protection platforms to their Kubernetes
environments today, leaving them in an unenviably vulnerable position.”

Germany, UAE and the UK)—with questionnaires submitted by 1,100 IT decision
makers in organizations with over 1,000 employees.
