JAKARTA - Ahead of World Backup Day 2025 on March 31, data resilience became increasingly crucial in line with the increasing adoption of AI and the development of cyber threats.

The latest Data Infrastructure Survey from Hitachi Vantara states that 42 percent of Asian companies refer to AI as an important part of their operations. But unfortunately, unstructured and inconsistent data is still a major challenge.

Responding to this issue, Chief Technology Officer, APAC, Hitachi Vantara Matthew totaling that without a strong data infrastructure, AI will not reach its maximum potential.

Fragmentation of data like this makes it difficult for AI to provide real-time insight. At the same time, data security is also a major concern, 44 percent of businesses in Asia call it the biggest challenge, again exceeding the global average," Matthew commented in a statement received by VOI, quoted Wednesday, March 26.

According to him, the global IT disruption in 2024 as happened to Microsoft shows that traditional backups are no longer enough.

He emphasized that at World Backup Day 2025, businesses need to move to start thinking about AI-based data backups, to help detect anomalies from the start, immutable storage and zero-trust security systems can keep data intact.

"We also need to start prioritizing AI-based observational data which ensures data remains safe, obedient, and can be restored at any time," Matthew said further.

Matthew also believes that companies that dare to surpass traditional backups and build true resilience strategies will be the most prepared to face the future.
