Recover from a Data Breach Before It’s Too Late

When was the last time you honestly thought about your data backup and disaster recovery solution? You might only be taking a minimalist approach due to a limited budget. It’s not that you don’t think powerful data backup and recovery solutions are valuable. If anything, you might feel that your business isn’t a big enough target to be considered by hackers. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter how big the target; hackers are hungry for whatever they can get, including your data.

If your data is compromised by hackers, you can be sure that it won’t lead to anything good. You might lose control over your entire network’s infrastructure, and without access to this mission-critical information, any operations will come screeching to a halt. What’s worse, if your company is subject to data-governing regulation, your business could be hit with fines for failing to prepare for such an event.

If you’re serious about business, you need to have a serious business continuity plan put in place. The first step is to look at your current backup and disaster recovery solution. Is it up to your expectations? If the process is painfully long, you might run into complications, which are only worsened if your data backups are significantly out of date. It might be better than losing all of your data, but it’s not the ideal way to approach backup and disaster recovery.

In the worst-case scenario, your business doesn’t have a backup and disaster recovery solution, and you’re hit with a hacking attack that renders your entire infrastructure inoperable. This isn’t an option. You should never underestimate the value of your business’s data. Most companies that experience a significant loss of data will go out of business within a year of the event. Chances are that you deal with information that’s valuable to hackers; the average Social Security number or credit card can be sold on the Black Market by hackers for a pretty penny, which gives them a good reason to target your business.

In the face of a data breach, you need a hand to help keep your data loss to a minimum. This is what Computerware’s Backup and Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution achieves. You get a fast recovery speed that enables you to resolve your issues with maximum efficiency. The BDR takes multiple screenshots during the workday, and sends them to an off-site data center for safe storage until you need it. This way, there’s no chance that a natural disaster like a flood or hurricane can take out your data backups.

Furthermore, a BDR allows for rapid data recovery that minimizes downtime following a disaster. By taking the place of your server in the event of a disaster or data breach, it can effectively allow operations to continue during the worst situations. With the data restored to the device, it can take the place of your failed or compromised hardware until you resolve the issue.
