4 Reasons CEOs Should Care About BCDR
As a proactive CEO, you know that implementing a solid business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plan is essential for your business. After all, why would anyone in your position ever put their business at risk of downtime or data…
New Cyber Threats Pose New Security Realities
When thinking about cybersecurity, it’s not just about “if” your business will be attacked; it’s about “when” it will be attacked. Infection methods are more sophisticated and phishing scams look more realistic. Two of the more recent ransomware attacks serve as valuable evidence.
Business Continuity Essentials
To understand the IT piece of disaster recovery and business continuity today, it helps to look at the not-so-distant past. It really wasn’t very long ago that backup meant daily incremental and weekly full backups to tape or a dedicated disk backup target. Duplicate tape copies were created and shipped offsite for disaster recovery— typically to a secondary site maintained by the business or to a tape vaulting facility (e.g. Iron Mountain). Many businesses continue to use this model today, and depending on your recovery needs it may be perfectly adequate. However, disaster recovery from offsite tape can be painfully slow. First, you need to retrieve the tapes from an offsite location. Once they are back on premise, you must ingest data to your backup server. At that point, you can restore data and applications to your primary servers. This, of course, means considerable downtime.
Are you Aware of Ransomware?
More and more, ransomware has emerged as a major threat to individuals and businesses alike. Ransomware, a type of malware that encrypts data on infected systems. When the malware is run, it locks victim’s files and allows criminals to demand payment to release them. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you are probably well aware that ransomware is a hot topic in the news these days. Organizations of all types and sizes have been impacted, but small businesses can be particularly vulnerable to attacks. And ransomware is on the rise.
