Do you think you have a backup and are safe from data loss?
Answer the questions below. If even one answer is ‘No,’ then it’s time to think again.
1. Is your backup encrypted?
2. Is the backup console/software password-protected?
3. Do you store the encryption key and console password in a secure password manager?
4. Is the backup stored outside your office?
5. Do you back up to more than one destination?
6. Do you periodically restore data to test your backups?
7. Is the cloud destination bucket properly secured?
A good backup plan involving multiple secure destinations acts as a life insurance policy for your business. It protects not only against the ever-growing threats of ransomware and other cyber-attacks, but also guards against accidental data deletion and hardware failures.
A backup to internal storage is effective only when complemented by an off-site backup. In the event of a ransomware attack, there’s a high likelihood that your backups will be targeted as well. Hackers, while unscrupulous, are not foolish. They understand that their chances of receiving a ransom increase significantly if you no longer have access to a backup.
