The market for data storage goes back to the 1900s, but storage is far older than that. As our data has grown, consumer concerns over backup, security, and privacy have grown too. With the invention of desktop computers came the rise of cyber threats, spilling into a new market for data backup solutions.
Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and more began competing with their cloud storage platforms; and in 2019, over half of companies said they plan to continue increasing spending on Information Technology security.
The future of data protection and cybersecurity demands cyber protection. As technology grows, new risks will too. By 2025, 175 zettabytes of data will be stored across the globe - mostly through cloud-based data centers. 41.6 billion IoT devices will generate nearly 80 zettabytes of data, and 1 in 5 wireless connections will be on 5G networks. Cyber protection is the next step in the world of digital defense. Read more for a closer look at backup and storage through history.
