Veritas Introduces Veritas Alta: The Industry’s Most Comprehensive Cloud Data Management Platform

Leave a comment

Empowers customers to accelerate their transition to cloud without sacrificing control over data protection, application resiliency, or data compliance

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ —  Veritas Technologies, a leader in multi-cloud data management, today advanced its Autonomous Data Management strategy with the launch of Veritas Alta, a cloud data management platform that helps enterprises transition mission-critical workloads to the cloud. Alta harnesses the benefits of the cloud to reduce costs, strengthen ransomware resiliency, and ensure data is protected, available, and compliant. Veritas also introduced Veritas Alta View, a cloud-based management console that provides a unified view and control of the entire data estate—across edge, data center, and cloud—from a single pane of glass.


The rise of multi-cloud creates a transformative infrastructure and application development platform for enterprises. However, customers own the security, protection, compliance, and availability of their data within the cloud as part of a shared responsibility model with the cloud service provider (CSP). Tools offered by CSPs deliver basic functionality, but mission-critical applications require enterprise-grade capabilities, optimized cost management and cross-cloud data mobility and visibility.

Andy Ng, Vice President and Managing Director for Asia South and Pacific Region at Veritas said, “In the current hybrid work model, businesses are exposed to regulatory and compliance risks when they lack full visibility of their sensitive and business-critical data that is stored across different locations, with the growing use of cloud services. With more than 30 years in enterprise-class data management innovation, our approach to multi-cloud will help to address the unique needs of the cloud for our customers across the region. Veritas Alta advances our mission to empower customers to own and control their data no matter where it resides—on-prem or in the cloud—while reducing the operational complexity and costs associated with managing multi-cloud environments.”

Veritas Alta: Ultimate Control in the Cloud

Veritas Alta delivers a unified cloud data management platform that provides the broadest array of enterprise-class data services in the industry and brings together the entire cloud portfolio from Veritas.

Veritas Alta focuses on three key areas:

  • Data protection with unmatched ransomware resiliency: Veritas Alta data protection and recovery is powered by Cloud Scale Technology, Veritas’ cloud-native architecture, and provides customers a choice of consumption models, including as-a-Service. It combines automation, artificial intelligence, and an elastic architecture to deliver the most secure, autonomous, and cost-effective cloud data protection available. Together with Alta View, customers can protect and control their data across any environment, on or off premise, through a single pane of glass.
  • Application resiliency that delivers up to five nines availability: Veritas Alta application resiliency brings enterprise-class availability to the cloud, enables application portability across clouds, and optimizes storage consumption at up to 50% less cost and 200% greater performance versus comparable solutions.
  • Data compliance to illuminate and remediate information risks: Veritas Alta data compliance as-a-Service empowers enterprises to capture data from all communication platforms and automate content classification, reducing operational complexity and allowing customers to capture everything, archive anywhere, and discover what matters.

Veritas Alta View: Control Data Anywhere

Veritas Alta View provides a cloud-based management console that allows customers to manage their entire data protection estate, on-prem and in the cloud, from a single pane of glass. Rather than oversee multiple solutions for disparate on-prem and cloud workloads, customers can leverage a single management console for data in any location across multiple domains.

Veritas Alta View integrates the Veritas analytics engine to provide customers with complete reporting, actionable insights, and a full view of their cybersecurity posture across their entire data estate. It harnesses AI and machine learning to drive autonomous data management actions, freeing the IT team to focus on transformational activities. With the Veritas analytics engine, customers have reduced their IT management costs by 90%, and realized a 28% reduction in IT resources consumed in the cloud.

Christophe Bertrand, practice director at Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “Organizations are often confused about their data protection SLAs when they move their data and/or applications to the cloud, and may think that their responsibility to ensure the protection of these digital assets is somehow mitigated or just the vendor’s responsibility.  The reality is much different:  the data is in fact always the organization’s responsibility.  In a multi-cloud environment, which is becoming the norm, this data protection disconnect can easily become exacerbated, in particular when organizations use many different and poorly orchestrated data protection and data management mechanisms.  Limiting the number of standalone, bolt-on solutions is much needed, which is the challenge that Veritas is taking on with its Alta unified management platform.”

About Veritas 

Veritas Technologies is a leader in multi-cloud data management. Over 80,000 customers—including 95 percent of the Fortune 100—rely on Veritas to help ensure the protection, recoverability, and compliance of their data. Veritas has a reputation for reliability at scale, which delivers the resilience its customers need against the disruptions threatened by cyber-attacks, like ransomware. No other vendor is able to match Veritas’ ability to execute, with support for 800+ data sources, 100+ operating systems, 1,400+ storage targets, and 60+ clouds through a single, unified approach. Powered by Cloud Scale Technology, Veritas is delivering today on its strategy for Autonomous Data Management that reduces operational overhead while delivering greater value.

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, Oct. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Veritas, a leader in multi-cloud data management, has announced a significant investment in its go-to-market strategy across its International Region, with the appointment of a new cloud-specialist team focused on Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East and Pacific. Lead by Mark Shephard, International Cloud Sales Leader, and Paul Hollebon, International Cloud Pre-sales Leader, the team of sales and technical-sales specialists will support Veritas’ new and existing customers as they look to expand their data management provision across new and complex cloud environments and move to Autonomous Data Management.

Andy Ng (Vice President and Managing Director for Asia South and Pacific Region, Veritas)
Andy Ng (Vice President and Managing Director for Asia South and Pacific Region, Veritas)

The new team will include Vic Ciencia and Abhishek Saxena who will be responsible for driving cloud-based activity for Veritas in the Asia South and Pacific region.

Andy Ng, Vice President and Managing Director for Asia South and Pacific Region at Veritas,  said: “The current hybrid working model has been made possible with the adoption of cloud services and use of cloud collaboration tools. However, businesses are playing catch-up with the post-pandemic work practices to manage the soaring volumes of data created across different cloud storage locations. The additional support provided by the new cloud-specialist team would help our customers and partners across the Asia South and Pacific region to optimise cloud footprint and costs, and keep data safe from threats such as ransomware.”

Mark Shephard, International Cloud Sales Leader at Veritas, said: “Organisations everywhere have accelerated their adoption of cloud-based collaboration solutions, doubling down on multi-cloud initiatives to meet immediate business demands. This has paved the way for complex hybrid infrastructures that delivered on accessibility, flexibility and scalability but has introduced governance challenges and ballooning costs as data becomes increasingly siloed across environments. Our new cloud-specialist team is here to help Veritas customers address those challenges with a diversity of insights in addressing data management challenges from edge to core to cloud.”

Shephard’s own experience is built on 25 years as a leader in the IT sector, driving success at companies such as Zscaler, Symantec and Barclays. His most recent role before joining Veritas was at Amazon Web Services, where he led an international team of 40 to support global customers. A Veritas employee earlier in his career, Shephard returns to the company having augmented his significant data management prowess with ten years of cloud experience.

Paul Hollebon, International Cloud Pre-sales Leader at Veritas, said: “Veritas is committed to the path of freeing our customers from the operational burden of data management. Autonomous Data Management, powered by the cloud, will bring value to existing and new customers looking to complement their internal teams’ routines with technology that provides an autonomous approach to data protection, secondary data management and archiving across the multi-cloud data estate. Providing coherent technical guidance aligned to a customer’s cloud vision is what this team is here to do.”

Hollebon joins Veritas from Commvault, where he led the EMEA Field Advisory Services Team, an international group of specialists that provided advanced technical presales support for Commvault’s largest and most strategic customers in some 20+ countries.

With 20 years’ experience in the IT industry, Hollebon has also led pre-sales and specialist teams at Dell EMC in the Netherlands, enabling a breadth of digital transformation initiatives across data management, virtualisation and infrastructure solutions.

The Veritas cloud-specialist team is in place today and supporting customers and partners across the region.

Vectra advances Security AI to deliver groundbreaking Attack Signal Intelligence(TM) – empowering security teams to investigate and respond to attacks in real-time

Leave a comment

Security AI-driven Attack Signal Intelligence automates cyber threat detection, triage and prioritization across Public Cloud, SaaS, Identity and Networks

SINGAPORE, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Vectra AI, the leader in Security AI-driven hybrid cloud threat detection and response, today announced Attack Signal Intelligence – groundbreaking technology that automates threat detection, triage and prioritization for SOC teams. As organizations face ever-growing unknown cyber threats targeting on-premises and cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications and data and Identity systems, SOC teams are challenged to keep pace. More attack surface to cover combined with more modern, evasive and sophisticated attackers has resulted in more manual time spent maintaining detection rules, triaging alerts and figuring out what alerts to prioritize – resulting in analyst fatigue and burnout. Vectra’s Security AI-driven Attack Signal Intelligence frees security analysts of these everyday manual and mundane tasks and arms them to do what they do best – investigate and respond to real attacks. Core to the Vectra platform, Vectra MDR services and the expanding Vectra ecosystem, Attack Signal Intelligence empowers security analysts to:

  • Think like an attacker with AI-driven Detections that go beyond signatures and anomalies to understand attacker behavior and zero in on attacker TTPs across the cyber kill chain. 
  • Know what is malicious by analyzing detection patterns unique to an organization’s environment to surface relevant events and reduce noise.
  • Focus on the urgent with AI-driven Prioritization that provides a view of threats by severity and impact, enabling analysts to focus on responding to critical threats and lowering business risk.

Today’s security teams are challenged with defending an ever-expanding attack surface, more evasive attacker methods while contending with overwhelming alert noise. These challenges all contribute to a threat actors’ increasing ability to beat prevention tools, circumvent signatures and detection rules and bypass multi-factor authentication to infiltrate and progress laterally inside an organization while going unnoticed. According to Vectra’s Global Research Study, 72% of security practitioners believe that they have been breached but don’t know it.

“The unknown compromise is the single biggest security risk organizations face today. Far more complex environments with greater attack surface exposure, more evasive attacker methods and overwhelming noise are all leading to unknowns for security teams,” said Kevin Kennedy, SVP of Product at Vectra. “To erase these unknowns, security teams need more reliable, accurate and timely intelligence across all attack entry points and attack surfaces. Vectra’s Attack Signal Intelligence is the first technology of its kind to automate threat detection, triage and prioritization so defenders can get ahead and stay ahead of modern attacks. Threat intelligence gives security the confidence to mitigate what is known. Vectra Attack Signal intelligence gives security the confidence to mitigate what was previously unknown.”

By harnessing Attack Signal Intelligence with the Vectra platform, Vectra MDR services and the Vectra ecosystem, security teams detect real attacks and their progression throughout the cyber kill chain so they can rapidly investigate and stop an attack from becoming a breach. Contrast to approaches that leverage AI for anomaly detection and require human tuning and maintenance, Vectra Attack Signal Intelligence continuously and automatically monitors for attacker methods with a set of Security AI models programmed with an understanding of attacker TTPs. The results run through another layer of AI which combines an understanding of the organization’s environment with threat models and human threat intelligence, to automatically surface and prioritize threats based on severity and impact. The result is that security teams are 85% more efficient in identifying actual threats and achieve >2x higher security operations productivity.

Vectra Attack Signal Intelligence is built into all Vectra Cloud, Identity and Network Threat Detection and Response products and services:

  • Vectra CDR for AWS
  • Vectra CDR for Microsoft 365
  • Vectra IDR for Microsoft Azure AD
  • Vectra NDR for on-premises and cloud networks
  • Vectra MDR for cloud, identity and network threat detection and response

About Vectra

Vectra® is the leader in Security AI-driven hybrid cloud threat detection and response. Only Vectra optimizes AI to detect attacker methods—the TTPs at the heart of all attacks—rather than simplistically alerting on “different.” The resulting high-fidelity threat signal and clear context enables cybersecurity teams to rapidly respond to threats and stop attacks from becoming breaches. The Vectra platform and services cover public cloud, SaaS applications, identity systems and network infrastructure – both on-premises and cloud-based. Organizations worldwide rely on the Vectra platform and services for resilience to ransomware, supply chain compromise, identity takeovers, and other cyberattacks impacting their organization.

Survey Shows that 75% of Australian Consumers Regularly Shop On Multiple Online Marketplaces

A survey of over 5,000 global consumers provides brands and retailers with actionable insights into when, where and how they shop online, ahead of the festive season

MELBOURNE, Australia, Sept. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — ChannelAdvisor Corporation (NYSE: ECOM), a leading provider of cloud-based e-commerce solutions, today released the results of its 2022 E-Commerce Consumer Survey, which gauged the shopping behaviours of over 5,000 respondents in Australia, U.S. and Europe. The global survey found consumers in Australia trust a brand’s website and marketplaces for product research, with social media found to be the least trusted platform.

The results of the survey offer brands and retailers actionable insights into the current perspectives of online shoppers and found 50% of consumers in Australia trust a brand’s website or marketplaces (44%) for product research, compared to just 6% who trust social media.

Despite this lack of trust in social media, 29% of respondents said they discovered products through sites like Instagram and TikTok.

Survey participants shared their preferences for online marketplaces and retailer sites they visit to research and purchase products while weighing factors such as product selection and delivery methods.  The survey results also revealed how inflation and rising costs are affecting consumer purchasing decisions and their priorities when conducting online research before or during an in-store shopping experience.

“To stay competitive and agile in this changing environment, brands and retailers must first understand how, where and why consumers are shopping,” said Mike Shapaker, chief marketing officer at ChannelAdvisor. “These survey results provide valuable insights that will help empower sellers to gain strategies to help capture consumer attention as the festive season approaches.”

Key findings that emerged from this year’s survey data include:

  • The majority of Australian consumers are shopping on more than one marketplace
  • Retail Media ads are influencing consumer purchase decisions
  • The 2022 festive season will continue to involve heavy online research and purchasing activity

Australian trends indicate shopping journeys involve more activity across retail sites and marketplaces

  • 85% of global consumers use multiple digital touchpoints during their buying journey
  • 75% of consumers tend to use multiple marketplaces on a regular basis for browsing, shopping or buying
    • 20% of consumers regularly use three marketplaces on a regular basis for browsing, shopping or buying, and 16% use 4 or more
  • 50% of consumers have purchased an item from a foreign retail site or marketplace in the past 12 months
    • These purchases are more frequent among younger consumers (63% of 18- to 25-year-olds) than older consumers (32% of consumers aged 65+)
  • 54% of Australian consumers have used click and collect in the past 12 months

Marketplaces are the most common channels to discover new products

  • 88% of Australian consumers browse items on marketplaces or retail sites without the direct intention to purchase something
  • 43% of Australian consumers “discovered” products they’ve purchased in the past 12 months by browsing marketplaces

Retail media advertising is becoming essential to increase product awareness

  • 39% of Australian consumers have clicked on a sponsored or promoted ad that they saw on a marketplace or retail site in the past 12 months
    • This activity is higher among younger shoppers (55% of consumers aged 18-25 and 48% of consumers aged 26-35)
  • 28% of consumers have purchased an item on Amazon after seeing an ad for that product on Amazon

Google remains the top channel for product research in Australia

  • In the past 12 months, consumers have researched products on these sites*
    • Facebook: 41%
    • Instagram: 28%
    • Google: 85%
    • Amazon: 56%
    • eBay: 71%

Pricing is a major factor for Australian consumers before making a purchase:

  • 86% of consumers usually compare prices before making a purchase
  • 98% of consumers consider price a somewhat or very important factor in product selection
  • 65% of consumers indicated their reason for researching products online before or during shopping in-store “often” involves checking prices

The 2022 Australian festive season will continue to involve heavy online research and purchasing activity:

  • 84% of consumers plan to spend the same amount of time or more shopping for festive gifts online compared to last year
  • 26% of 18- to 25-year-old consumers plan to conduct festive shopping research on social media sites
