Backup & Recovery
With a good Backup & Recovery strategy, you ensure that data is always available, even when problems occur that normally make data inaccessible. Think of unexpected power outages or employees accidentally deleting data.
A sound B&R strategy also provides an answer to malicious practices. Ransomware is one of the biggest headaches for companies these days, not even necessarily because of the ransom, but precisely because a successful attack encrypts data, making it inaccessible.
Contemporary backup techniques include storage with public cloud players such as Azure, AWS and Google, Backup as a Service (BaaS), Immutable Backups and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). These provide additional protection that is often essential for business operations.
