New research from Infrascale indicates that 58 percent of C-level executives at small and medium businesses (SMBs) said their biggest data storage challenge is security vulnerability. Nearly half (49 percent) of top leaders at SMBs said cyberattacks are their biggest data protection concern. Yet more than 20 percent of SMB leaders said they do not currently have a data backup or disaster recovery solution in place.

The Infrascale research, conducted in March 2020, is based on a survey of more than 500 C-level executives. CEOs represented 87 percent of the group. Almost all of the remainder was split between CIOs and CTOs.
