The data center industry has been a force for positive change on climate action over the past decade, with cloud computing platforms pioneering advances in sustainable operations and corporate adoption of renewable energy. This impact will be amplified in
coming years as more businesses abandon carbon-heavy on-premises data centers and migrate to greener infrastructure operated by cloud platforms and colocation facilities.

Building tomorrow’s innovations means rapidly embracing today’s technologies, but by doing so, a company’s infrastructure becomes more complex and introduces entirely new challenges. Organizations have risk across their entire environment, whether on-prem in the cloud or in a hybrid architecture.

Companies that fall victim find themselves in an impossible situation. No one wants to pay—preventing ransomware altogether is the goal—but many feel they have no choice. Our inaugural State of Global Enterprise Authentication Survey was designed to get a snapshot of authentication at companies around the globe.

Industry leaders understand that an in-depth security strategy is required to combat attackers. Organizations are still using legacy antivirus (AV) tools that may be inefficient for IT staff and ineffective at stopping today’s threats.Pulse and BlackBerry surveyed 100 IT security executives to understand how they handle
unknown malware threats and how they plan to improve preventative security tools. More than half (55%) of respondents say their IT staff are spending more than 5 hours per
week administering and updating signature-based AV solutions. By comparison, only 47% of respondents indicated this was the case a year ago. Specifically, the number of respondents who say their IT teams spend 6-10 hours on updates and administration jumped from 28%
to 41%.
