The vulnerability of backup in a predominantly remote + cloud world

Backup is fundamental to IT, but things have changed a lot recently. The pandemic has had a key impact in this. With the rise in cloud working it also threw our ability to protect cloud data into sharp focus, and raised the importance of cloud-to-cloud backup.

In this e-guide we look at the effects of the pandemic on backup, including the increased prevalence of remote working and use of the cloud. Then we also look at where backups can go wrong, because it’s one thing to set backups jobs running but the crucial part is to know you can rely on being able to recover from them. We also focus in on the key differences between backups and snapshots, why they are not the same
and how a good data protection strategy incorporates both methods.

  • Why data recovery does not equal cyber recovery

    Ransomware is here to stay — in fact, it’s become a thriving business with organized gangs and sophisticated approaches. Cybersecurity firm Sophos notes that the cybercriminal economy has transformed into an industry unto itself, adopting an as-a-service model for an increasing scope of operation.

    The antidote is preparation and a readiness to recover. But in this crucial area, most organizations fall short, despite rising awareness of the ransomware threat, by simply relying on traditional data protection measures.

    Discover in this white paper why data recovery does not always equal cyber recovery, and what you need to know to truly protect your backup environment.
