A business is hit by ransomware every 11 seconds. For many organizations, the question isn’t if they’ll face a data incident—it’s when. As digital infrastructure becomes the backbone of operations, more companies are investing in backup and recovery. However, a significant number still delay implementation due to concerns over cost, technical challenges, or competing priorities.
In today’s landscape, where cyberattacks can cripple entire operations within minutes, backup and recovery is a fundamental safeguard for business continuity and customer trust. Postponing data protection can lead to irreversible damage when disaster strikes.
Several common blockers often prevent organizations from adopting or upgrading their backup solutions:
Ransomware attacks are an expected part of the modern threat landscape. The impact of a single incident can be devastating, even if your organization hasn’t been targeted yet:
In the face of growing threats, backup and recovery is your digital safety net. It protects your business, your customers, your reputation, and your future. The cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of preparation.
At Storware, we recommend asking yourself the following questions when evaluating a backup and recovery solution:
If you are evaluating backup solutions or need help designing a data protection strategy tailored to your business, the Storware team will be happy to assist you in finding the right path to secure data protection.
Storware Backup and Recovery emerges as a leading solution that bridges both concepts, offering comprehensive backup capabilities that ensure reliable data recoverability while simultaneously helping businesses establish true data resilience. Through its advanced features such as immutable backups that prevent tampering from ransomware attacks, instant recovery capabilities that minimize downtime, deduplication and compression technologies that optimize storage efficiency, and multi-cloud support that eliminates single points of failure, Storware enables organizations to not only recover from data loss incidents but also maintain business continuity even in the face of cyber threats, hardware failures, or natural disasters.
Additionally, its automated backup scheduling, point-in-time recovery options, and enterprise-grade encryption ensure that businesses can operate with confidence knowing their critical information assets are both protected and readily accessible when needed, transforming data protection from a reactive recovery process into a proactive resilience strategy.
Here’s the bottom line:
The worst time to test your data strategy is after disaster hits. So, don’t choose between recovery and resilience. Accept both and create a system that can not only endure but also thrive in the face of any disturbance.

Privileged Access Management (PAM) remains one of the most critical pillars of cybersecurity. As enterprises expand into hybrid, cloud, and IoT environments, privileged accounts are the most valuable targets for attackers. The 2025 Unit 42 Global Incident Response Report found that 66% of social-engineering attacks targeted privileged accounts.
Security leaders face immense pressure to protect access, ensure compliance, and mitigate operational risk. Choosing the right PAM solution is therefore paramount. This year, Segura® was recognized as a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PAM, highlighting strengths in account discovery, credential management, and lifecycle governance.
The Magic Quadrant™ is a respected framework assessing technology vendors based on two dimensions:
Vendors are grouped into four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, or Niche Players. This provides CISOs with a clear, independently-researched view of the market landscape to guide strategic investment decisions.
The Gartner® Critical Capabilities™ for PAM report provides a detailed, technical evaluation of product capabilities, evaluating performance across core PAM functions essential to IT and security leaders:
Segura® was named a Challenger in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management, recognized for strong execution and technical excellence.
“Segura® is one of the top performers for account discovery and onboarding, privileged credential management and privileged life cycle management capabilities.”
— Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ 2025 for PAM
These two reports serve complementary purposes for decision-making:
| Report | Purpose | Audience |
|---|---|---|
| Magic Quadrant™ | Strategic overview of vendor positioning (Vision vs. Execution). | Executives, CISOs, and high-level Decision-Makers. |
| Critical Capabilities™ | Technical evaluation of specific product features and real-world use cases. | IT Leaders, Security Analysts, and Implementation Teams. |
Together, they provide both the strategic view for executives and the technical detail for day-to-day teams, ensuring evidence-based decisions.
“This recognition as a Challenger in the Gartner Magic Quadrant highlights the dedication of our teams and our relentless focus on delivering world-class cybersecurity solutions. It’s a strong validation of Segura’s journey of innovation and growth.”

Want to be sure your DNS setup isn’t weakening your security or network performance? GREYCORTEX experts highlight the most frequent mistakes from countless network audits. This guide breaks them down with practical examples and clear steps for remediation.
DNS plays a far greater role than simply resolving names to IP addresses. It shapes where users are redirected and reveals which servers devices connect to. DNS traffic is powerful: whoever controls or intercepts it can redirect users, map internal services, or extract sensitive data. That is why DNS remains one of the most overlooked but impactful parts of network security.
In many networks, outbound port 53 is left completely open, meaning any internal device can connect to any device on the Internet. This critical vulnerability allows attackers to create a DNS tunnel to send arbitrary data through, often hidden within DNS queries. For example, using software like Iodine, they can establish a reverse SSH tunnel from the Internet to the internal network, creating permanent, undetected access.
From an analyst’s perspective, this looks like normal communication with a legitimate DNS server, but a closer look at data patterns—such as constantly changing third-order domain names (e.g., `freemovies.tk`) or the use of unusual record types (like NULL in the `rrtype` attribute)—betrays the presence of tunneling attempts.
When Port 53 Is Legally Needed: If port 53 must remain open for corporate resolvers or authorized external providers, restrict it only to those trusted resolvers. Additionally, audit devices that attempt direct resolution against Internet DNS servers, as this often signals malware activity.
Encrypted DNS protocols like DNS over HTTPS (DoH) on port 443 and DNS over TLS (DoT) on port 853 are designed for user privacy but create significant blind spots in corporate networks. They hide DNS traffic inside encrypted sessions, preventing inspection and policy enforcement. Attackers can leverage these methods to tunnel data, bypass corporate resolvers, or maintain persistence.
While DoT (port 853) is generally easier to block, DoH (port 443) is much harder because it masquerades as normal HTTPS traffic.
During audits, experts found cases where companies created secondary domains (e.g., `company2v.com`) but failed to register or control them. When administrators set up proxy servers via Windows Group Policy (GPO), workstations attempted to reach a non-existent, externally owned domain (e.g., `wpad.company2v.com`) to fetch settings.
Since the external party controlled the domain, they could redirect internal corporate devices to any server on the Internet, opening the door for man-in-the-middle attacks—delivering malware under the guise of legitimate updates. A minor oversight in domain registration became a direct attack path.
Not all DNS errors stem from complex attacks; sometimes, they are simple human mistakes. Typos in DNS server configurations—like mistyping Google’s resolvers or private IP ranges—are frequently encountered.
While user systems catch these quickly, errors on manually configured devices (like IoT equipment) can persist unnoticed, preventing critical updates or causing hidden communication failures. In the worst case, a typo may resolve to a legitimate Internet DNS server, causing internal queries to leak outside the company network.
Modern attackers do not need to break firewalls if DNS gives them a way in. Unrestricted queries on port 53, tunneling hidden inside DoT/DoH, unregistered domains, or misconfigured servers all provide silent channels for persistence or data exfiltration. Continuous auditing and long-term monitoring are the only ways to uncover these errors before they escalate into outages or breaches.
