On certain days, HPE records as many as 2.6 billion logged requests and cybersecurity-related events. Cybersecurity, therefore, is no longer a “one-time effort” that companies are putting in, he said.

“Today, I cannot say I have the best of servers with the best of security. That is not good enough. The question is how to build that safety from storage to connectivity to an application or API stack. That becomes important,” he said.

The company blocked an average of 1,060 phishing emails daily with a total of 1 billion email threat vectors blocked during 2022. Though more than 50% of the cybersecurity incidents that were investigated by HPE’s cyber fusion centre were due to user-led actions such as the installation or attempted installation of infected software or running crypto-mining programs and tools, the company’s security controls managed to thwart those, he said.
