Exclaimer, provider of email signature management solutions, has released the results of the Build vs buy: The true cost of DIY IT solutions report, delivering a global view of how IT and security leaders are reassessing the true cost, risk and return of building software in-house versus buying from trusted vendors.
The findings, based on insights from over 2,000 IT and security decision-makers, reveal that 71% of in-house builds are eventually abandoned. This insight, termed ‘The DIY Mirage’, reveals the false sense of control and efficiency that fades as maintenance demands, compliance risks, and long-term costs grow.

Integrated security platforms: the key to protecting modern cloud applications

Saurabh Prasad, Senior Solution Architect at In2IT Technologies
Cloud-native applications have transformed the way businesses operate, enabling faster innovation, greater agility, and enhanced scalability. Yet, with this evolution comes an equally complex security landscape.
Traditional security approaches, which rely on fragmented tools and point solutions, are increasingly insufficient on their own, as while many organisations still combine best-of-breed tools, the trend is toward more consolidated platforms. The reality is that modern applications, often composed of microservices running across distributed infrastructures, demand security that is as agile and interconnected as the systems themselves. This is where integrated security platforms prove indispensable.

Today, organisations rely heavily on data as the backbone of their operations. Every business decision, customer interaction, and innovation depends on instant access to accurate information. Unfortunately, many businesses only realise the importance of data protection after experiencing system failures or data loss. In today’s digital landscape, a robust backup strategy is not just advisable, it’s essential for resilience.
The 3-2-1-1 backup model is a proven approach for safeguarding data. It involves maintaining three copies of data, stored across two different types of media, with one copy kept offsite in an immutable state. This method enhances data durability and speeds up recovery, especially as immutable backups remain unaltered even when security systems are compromised. With cyber threats and ransomware attacks increasing, such protective measures are vital for organisational survival.
