Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping database management, but not replacing DBAs. This ebook was created to cut through the hype and fears, and provide guidance on what GenAI means for today's DBAs, give practical insights on how to leverage GenAI safely, boost your productivity, and confidently evolve your role.

You'll learn:

• What DBAs are saying about GenAI
• What skills modern DBAs need to stay relevant
• Where AI helps (and where it doesn't) today
• Practical and safe ways to get started using GenAI
  empowered database management tools
• The DBA AI Action Plan
• How Quest supports your journey

"Quest's DBA solutions with these AI capabilities feel like having an extra DBA always by my side, significantly boosting my understanding, effectiveness and reducing stress" - Senior DBA, Financial Services, UK

Improving RPO and RTO service levels for backup and recovery is one of the top challenges for IT today. Using Quest QoreStor software-defined storage (SDS), in combination with backup and recovery solutions, can improve data protection service levels significantly. This ESG report offers independent, third-party validation documenting how QoreStor, when used with Veeam Backup & Replication, resulted in:

• 65% faster full backups and 63% faster incremental backups
• 47% reduction in storage requirements
• 68% less time to restore a full VM versus a Veeam VM restore from local RAID

It also describes how QoreStor helps improve cyber-resiliency by protecting backup data with deep anomaly detection and immutability, on-prem and in the cloud.

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and attackers continually find new ways to exploit vulnerabilities. While EDR and NDR address different layers of security, they may not fully cover identity-related threats. This white paper emphasizes the critical need for robust Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) in hybrid Active Directory environments. It explores the following key points:

• Rising threats: With 80% of breaches involving compromised identities, securing AD and Entra ID is crucial.
• EDR and NDR: These solutions protect endpoints and network traffic but may leave identity security gaps.
• XDR integration: XDR unifies signals from EDR, NDR, and ITDR for comprehensive threat detection.
• ITDR solutions: How ITDR solutions like Security Guardian fill identity security gaps, enhancing overall cyber resilience.
• Comprehensive defense: Combining EDR, NDR, XDR, and ITDR ensures robust security hygiene and threat mitigation.
