The Data Operatives Field Guide

Calling all Data Protection Operatives

Prepare for Vertical Industry Growth Climb!

Data is a critically precious commodity, and the prime directive for data operatives is to protect it, preserve its integrity and ensure it is always available, even in extremely adverse conditions.

There are numerous challenges to overcome. Heterogeneous IT infrastructure, data volume, growth, types and formats, lifecycle considerations, application dependencies, disparate toolsets, and regulatory conditions can make for tough terrain. You’ll need to navigate complex ground to move allied companies from weak and risky data positions to strategically resilient operational environments.

Establishing your credentials and building trust will involve more than your knowledge of the common cloud platform backup fundamentals. Your technical go-bag may not include solutions for every unique need in these industries, but those in command of mission budgets will seek confidence you are aware of their unique platform protocols.

The Data Operatives Field Guide will help you learn how to run effective reconnaissance into these operating environments and demonstrate your understanding.

In the background there is the ever-present ticking of the clock, counting down toward an almost inevitable security event that could compromise or destroy the data you’re entrusted to conserve.

Allied cybersecurity operatives are active on that front. But, as every data agent knows, internal and external threat actors are only part of the data continuity challenge. There is no technology that can protect against the impact of extreme weather conditions, natural disaster, or unforeseen national infrastructure failures.

The business preservation line starts and ends with you and your team.

Specialist Squad Training for Vertical Industry Protection

This Field Guide is designed to help you establish specialist squad credentials in four industry sectors:

• Education
• Primary Healthcare
• Retail
• Manufacturing

Insights into the unique operating systems and platforms have been drawn from data protection operatives already succeeding in these industry arenas. We encourage you to consider their roles and capabilities when forming your own industry targeting teams.

Your briefing pack outlines the details needed to run effective missions into these market territories, reduce data related risk and ensure the resilience of critical information sources.

Every partner has a choice of whether to accept the duty of guiding their alliance teams on the critical value of data resilience strategies. This is a decision you must make and execute on your own, but remember, you are never alone.
