BUSINESS BACKUP AND RECOVERY — THE DANGEROUS MISTAKES COMPANIES MAKE
Most companies have some sort of business backup and recovery system in place, but when asked, few know the details of what that includes.
It’s pretty scary (and dangerous) if you’re not sure which data is being backed up, the backup retention cycle, and how/where the data is being stored.
Today’s technology can make many aspects of a business run smoother and safer, but it can also make businesses more vulnerable due to negligence from different forms of cyber-attacks.
When it comes to business backup and recovery strategies there are two main categories of failure: External and Internal.
External Threat: Company A’s network is exposed to a malicious encryption infections. The company had a weak or non-existent data backup and recovery system in place. The cyber attacker holds their data hostage. Company A is forced to pay the cyber attacker’s ransom or spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to have their data restored. (These situations do actually happen and are becoming much more frequent. Attacks like these are often kept quiet in an attempt to protect the company’s livelihood.)
Internal Threat: Company B has a silent database failure. A data backup system had been implemented but was not being regularly checked or tested. Database backup emails were being sent to the company’s internal IT person, but the emails had not been going through for months. The IT person had no idea that the company’s data backups hadn’t been successful for the past 4 months.
