Fewer can say with confidence that their backups are complete, protected, regularly tested, and capable of restoring the business after a serious outage or cyberattack. That difference matters.

It has made infrastructure easier to consume, helped teams move faster, and opened access to services that would previously have taken months to build. But cloud is not automatically the right answer for every workload. Over the past few years, many organisations have adopted a cloud-first mindset. In some cases, this worked well.
