The disconnect between business expectations and IT ’ s ability to deliver has never been more impactful , according to the Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2022 , which found that 89 % of organisations are not protecting data sufficiently .

Veeam Software , a provider of backup , recovery and data management solutions that deliver modern data protection , found that 88 % of IT leaders expect data protection budgets to rise at a higher rate than broader IT spending as data becomes more critical to business success and the challenges of protecting it grow in complexity . More than two-thirds are turning to cloudbased services to protect essential data .
The Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2022 surveyed more than 3,000 IT decision makers and global enterprises to understand their data protection strategies for the next 12 months and beyond . The largest of its kind , this study examines how organisations are preparing for the IT challenges they face , including huge growth in use of cloud services and cloud-native infrastructure , as well as the expanding cyberattack landscape and the steps they are taking to implement a modern data protection strategy that ensures Business Continuity .
