Cyberattacks are a certainty for any organization and government agencies are no different. Understanding that no one is truly immune to cyber risk is an important first step in a prudent cybersecurity approach. But what does your agency's recovery success (or failure) look like after a cyber threat or natural disaster has come and gone? This fundamental element of data security is known as data resiliency, and it's foundational to ensuring that a government agency is data ready. Are you data ready? How do you know? The level of data resiliency that is maintained by a government agency has a lot to do with the "health" and awareness of its data. Working with clean, well-inventoried data makes for a much more seamless and streamlined data recovery process. "Data is to a government agency as blood is to the human body," stated Richard Breakiron, Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives – Fed, DoD and the Intelligence Community at Commvault.
