and Management for theTelecom Industry
Key Benefits• Enhanced cyber resilience• Simplified management ofsensitive client data with single UI• Significant cost savings• Achieve faster recovery times• Streamline regulatory compliancerequirements

Telecom organizations face unique cyber resiliency challenges
as a result of handling sensitive data, regulatory obligations
and the risk of reputational damage in the event of a breach.
These challenges are further complicated by complex IT systems
and collaborations with third parties, straining already limited
IT resources. The confidential nature of the data they handle,
coupled with the continuous evolution of cyber threats, demands
a robust and adaptive security infrastructure. Some major
challenges faced by such organizations today are:• Regulatory Compliance: The telecom sector is subject to numerous
regulations, including GDPR and ISO standards. Compliance with theseregulations is non-negotiable and requires stringent data protection
measures.
• Cybersecurity Threats: Personalized experiences are now a standard

expectation. To deliver these experiences, businesses need quick andsecure access to customer data while safeguarding privacy.
• Cybersecurity Threats: Telecom organizations are prime targets forcyberattacks, including ransomware and data breaches. Protecting
against these threats while ensuring business continuity is a top priority.
• High value targets: Telecom organizations handle highly sensitive andconfidential data, making them attractive targets for cyberattacks.
Protecting this data while ensuring business continuity in the face of an
attack is a significant challenge.

Enhancing cyber resilience for telecom
organizations
Modern data management empowers IT teams to enhance data resiliency,
so they can successfully collect, aggregate, and analyze data to deliver
exceptional customer experiences while keeping data safe and streamlining
compliance. Many telecom organizations are modernizing legacy IT
infrastructure, including multi-point backup and recovery products.

“With its immutable backups – designed so that they can’t betampered with, modified, or removed – Cohesity is helping us protect
our backups from cybercriminals in the event of an attack.
