**DataguardNXT** has formed a strategic partnership with Cynomi, a trusted name in virtual Chief Information Security Officer services.

**Cynomi** enables its partners to offer scalable continuous vCISO services without having to scale their own resources. With Cynomi's AI-powered platform, which is based on the knowledge of the world's top CISOs, you receive automated risk and compliance assessments, auto-generated tailored policies, and actionable remediation plans with prioritised detailed tasks, task management tools, progress tracking, and customer-facing reports.

A Virtual Chief Information Security Officer is an outsourced security advisor whose responsibilities varies depending upon your business needs. A virtual CISO can be a cost-effective approach to having the access your company needs to high-end cybersecurity professionals.
A CISO is responsible for defining and enforcing organizations’ cybersecurity culture, policies, procedure, and security architecture. The challenge here is that not many organizations can afford a full-time executive-level CISO to oversee these functions, given the limited access to cybersecurity experts in the market today. Hence there is a need to bring such leadership insight through Virtual CISO to address the following challenges which many organizations face.

By forming a partnership with Cynomi, DataguardNXT is able to offer its partners the assistance of highly skilled cybersecurity professionals who can assist in identifying potential vulnerabilities and developing a customised strategy to secure their digital assets. DataguardNXT will be able to provide more robust and comprehensive security solutions as a result of its merged offerings.

DataguardNXT is excited for this business collaboration and looking forward to the opportunities to come.

Stay tuned for more updates on this collaboration!!

# **The Challenge**

Companies of all sizes are realising the importance of taking precautions to safeguard their data, and many are turning to cloud services like Acronis for assistance. When it comes to cyber security, Acronis has been there for people, companies, and service providers in 150 different nations since 2003. Eighty percent of the Fortune 1000 rely on Acronis solutions today, joining more than five million satisfied customers and half a million businesses.

Acronis must minimise storage expenses in order to stay up with the ever-increasing demands placed on their storage infrastructure. However, it was becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to operate a massive storage infrastructure that spans 14 data centres throughout the globe.

Storage solutions from several suppliers compounded the issue because they did not share an interface or a support team. Acronis also had to maintain its legendary reliability even as it expanded its storage capabilities. Acronis could not afford to skimp on quality as it relies on its cybersecurity and data protection offerings to stay in business.


#### **The Solution**

Acronis wanted to solve these problems and lay the groundwork for its next stage of expansion by standardising its global storage infrastructure on solutions from a single vendor. DIAWAY OÜ, a trusted partner in technology, was called in to help. Experts at DIAWAY fashioned a deployable, scalable architecture, and then built an in-depth financial model to foresee capital and operating costs for the next five years.

In doing so, DIAWAY compared products from a number of industry leaders in the storage space. Western Dig was the only supplier capable of meeting Acronis's long-term expansion needs at a reasonable price.

#### **The Benefits**

Acronis has completed the first step of its planned revamp by implementing Western Digital Ultrastar platforms in the majority of its global storage infrastructure. Its global environment presently comprises more than 220 petabytes of capacity, with additional capacity being added on a regular basis.

Through its partnership with Western Digital, Acronis has obtained the following advantages:

•	**Reduced total cost of ownership (TCO):** Over the next five years, the Western Digital system will significantly cut Acronis' storage costs, including capital expenditures and operational costs for power, colocation, and maintenance, according to DIAWAY. The Ultrastar platform will cost more than 25% less per terabyte than competing options.

•	**Simplified Operations:** Acronis is simplifying its massive storage infrastructure by standardising on Western Digital Ultrastar platforms at data centres worldwide. Today, infrastructure and storage teams use the same processes and technologies and contact the same Western Digital experts for support. A uniform global storage architecture makes capacity planning easier and more predictable.

•  **Long-Term Reliability:** Ultrastar storage from Western Digital provides rock-solid reliability at scale and under demanding performance requirements. Ultrastar has redundant power supply units, IO modules, and fans. Western Digital covers Ultrastar platforms for five years. Western Digital gives Acronis' leadership team confidence to grow its storage performance, capacity, and density.

# **About Bitdefender**

Bitdefender is well-versed in keeping up with the rapid rate of development in the online security industry. In 2011, when the company was about to launch its corporate product GravityZone, it wanted to free its team from the constraints of physical hardware so they could concentrate on innovation. 

Bitdefender desired to eliminate manual procedures and boost automation to facilitate the rapid scaling required by Bitdefender and our clients.

With a global customer base to consider, the company required a highly available cloud service in order to supply security services internationally without interruption.


### **The Challenge**

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is used by Bitdefender, which presently operates several hundred instances that manage approximately five terabytes of data. Instances of Elastic Load Balancing are utilised to transport application traffic across various Availability Zones for streamlined global service delivery.

AWS Identity and Access Manager (IAM) enables Bitdefender to manage user access to AWS by enabling the setting of permissions for various accounts. Amazon CloudWatch offers tools for closely monitoring the assets within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC).

#### 
**The Benefits**

Bitdefender has greater instruments for innovation by utilising AWS. With 500 million users, a number that is expanding daily, Bitdefender must ensure that it can simply acquire new clients. Having constructed and operated conventional physical infrastructures, the company realised it would be challenging to scale fast and affordably in this environment. But with AWS, the provisioning of resources is nearly instantaneous.

Similarly, high availability is essential to providing enterprise customers with reliable services. Bitdefender has provided an online security platform with near-zero downtime for the past five years. With AWS as a component of their business, they can easily achieve the service level agreements.

#### 
**The Solution**

People select Bitdefender due to the performance of the solutions and the delivery flexibility, and AWS is a component of this.

Some of the best solutions Bitdefender offers include:

**- Safe from all new and existing threats**

**- Anti-Phishing protection**

**- Safe online banking**

**- Fast, anonymous and secure while surfing the web**

**- Game, movie and work modes**
