Cyber resilience starts with protecting every device, every user and every byte

Cyber resilience isn’t just about recovering from an attack; it’s about preventing disruptions before they happen while ensuring your business can quickly recover when they do.

Unfortunately, recent cyberattacks show just how vulnerable endpoints have become, especially with the diverse and broad range of devices used to work, whether at the office or remotely. In March 2026, medical technology leader Stryker experienced a cyberattack that disrupted its Microsoft environment. The attackers claimed to have wiped more than 200,000 corporate and employee devices, highlighting how compromised endpoint management can have widespread operational consequences.

Just two months later, GitHub disclosed that attackers gained access to internal repositories after compromising an employee’s device through a malicious Visual Studio Code extension. Although GitHub quickly contained the incident, the attack demonstrated how a single compromised endpoint can become the gateway to valuable corporate assets.

These incidents reinforce a critical lesson: protecting your organization’s data starts with protecting the devices that access it. Simple, right? But not so obvious, I must say.

Today’s IT environments are more complex than ever. Employees work from offices, homes, airports, and customer sites using laptops, smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices. Every endpoint represents an opportunity for productivity but also a potential entry point for cybercriminals. That’s why protecting data alone is no longer enough. Organizations need a strategy that safeguards every device, every user, and every byte of information.

A modern cyber resilience strategy combines cloud workload protection, data backup and recovery, and unified endpoint management, enabling IT teams to secure, monitor, update, and manage every endpoint from a single platform. Whether employees are working remotely or in the office, organizations can automate patch management, enforce security policies, encrypt sensitive data, and maintain compliance without increasing operational complexity.

Equally important is the ability to recover quickly when the unexpected occurs. Modern enterprise data backup solutions help minimize downtime and data loss while strengthening protection against ransomware and other evolving cyber threats. By combining backup, endpoint management, and security into a unified platform, organizations can reduce risk, simplify IT operations, and improve business continuity across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

The reality is that cyber resilience isn’t achieved with isolated security products. It requires a comprehensive approach that protects endpoints, secures data, supports hybrid work, and ensures critical business operations can continue regardless of the threat landscape.

As cyberattacks continue to evolve, organizations that invest in cloud workload protection, enterprise data backup solutions, patch management, and unified endpoint management will be better equipped to keep their business running protecting every device, every user, and every byte.
