    How to Build the Ultimate Data Survival Kit - Enhance Your Cyber Resilience

    Just as seasoned "preppers" maintain bug-out bags for physical emergencies, today's organizations need a comprehensive kit of digital resilience tools to weather any storm – from ransomware attacks to natural disasters. In our latest episode, join Technology Strategy Director Jason Walker and Technical Evangelist Matt Bradford to unpack the essential components of modern data survival preparedness. Our discussion weaves through Pure Storage's evolving cyber resilience solutions, from foundational replication capabilities to cutting-edge DRaaS offerings. We share and discuss practical insights on implementing critical protective measures like SafeMode snapshots and how to leverage Pure1's security assessment tools to identify vulnerabilities before they become crises. Midway thru the episode we hit an entertaining "Bug Out Bag Challenge" segment where random survival items spark creative analogies to data protection strategies. Blending technical expertise with accessible metaphors, Walker and Bradford demonstrate why data resilience isn't just an IT concern but a fundamental business survival skill. They explore how Pure Storage's integrated suite of tools – including multiple options for native replication, automated assessments, and disaster recovery and restore services – helps organizations build the ultimate data survival kit for an increasingly unpredictable digital landscape.

    Cyber Resiliency Is A Team Sport - Breaking Down Silos to Create a Culture of Security Awareness

    In an era where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and devastating, organizations can no longer afford to treat cybersecurity as the sole responsibility of their security teams. This episode of the Pure Report features industry veterans Jason Walker, Tech Strategy Director of Cyber Resilience, and Jason Langer, Tech Evangelist, to explore why cyber resilience must be approached as a team sport, breaking down the traditional silos between IT operations and security teams. Drawing from their extensive experience in data protection and security, the two Jasons delve into the stark realities of cyber impacts, including the sobering statistic that one in five organizations report employee terminations following outages. They examine the NIST Cybersecurity Framework through a collaborative lens, offering insights into how different teams can work together across the five key areas: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Through real-world examples and strategic discussions, listeners will develop a deeper understanding of why alignment between IT leaders and CISOs is crucial for building true cyber resilience. As organizations grapple with evolving threats, this timely discussion during Cybersecurity Awareness Month offers actionable strategies for fostering cross-team collaboration. The episode explores the evolution of cybersecurity conversations over the past five years, provides practical advice for improving security posture through teamwork, and highlights Pure Storage's role in enabling organizations to build robust cyber resilience strategies.
