In today’s threat landscape, simply backing up data is no longer enough. Cyberattacks, ransomware, and insider threats continue to evolve, targeting critical systems like IBM i that power many Federal agencies, financial institutions, and enterprises. To maintain operational continuity and safeguard sensitive data, organizations must move beyond traditional backup toward end-to-end cyber resilience, a strategy that blends secure data protection with Zero Trust principles.
At Jeskell Systems, we understand the mission-critical role IBM i plays in your IT ecosystem. That’s why we partner with Cobalt Iron, the leader in enterprise SaaS backup and cyber resilience, to deliver Compass®, a modern, automated platform purpose-built to protect IBM i workloads.
Why IBM i Demands a Modern Approach
IBM i systems are renowned for reliability and performance, but their critical role in business operations makes them an attractive target for cybercriminals. Traditional backup methods, often siloed and labor-intensive, can leave gaps in protection, increase risk, and delay recovery. Organizations need:
- Automated, policy-driven protection to reduce human error
- Immutable data storage to prevent ransomware from encrypting or deleting backups
- Granular access controls that align with Zero Trust security models
- Rapid recovery capabilities that minimize downtime and financial loss
