It’s unrealistic to think that you can completely avoid cyberattacks and data breaches, so it’s vital to have a proper data recovery plan in place. It is time for you to tighten your defenses significantly by ensuring all of your network devices are properly configured and by putting some thought into all of your potential network borders.

Data Recovery Is a Must

Every year there are natural disaster events that take place all over the world. These disasters affect your IT capabilities and can be harmful; however, the vast majority of disasters that cause significant IT downtime are from human error, hardware and software failure, and cyberattacks.

Data Recovery Capability

Do you have a proper backup plan in place? Have you tested it to see if it is fully functional? Disaster recovery is vital, but an alarming number of companies do not have an adequate system in place. A successful malware attack can lead to altered data on all compromised machines, and the full effects are often very difficult to determine. The option to roll back to a backup that predates the infection is vital. Backed-up data must be encrypted and physically protected. It’s also essential that a test team routinely checks a random sampling of system backups by restoring them and verifying data integrity.
