Business Continuity and Disaster Mitigation
When you are facing a disaster, any disaster – a security breach, theft, a virus or malware, a fire, hurricane, or other natural disaster, a systems crash or even when an important file is accidently deleted – a Business Continuity and Disaster Mitigation Plan will be your only lifeline. It will be the only way to get your systems back, restore your data, and protect your business. That’s why proper Business Continuity and Disaster Mitigation that considers all points of failure and risks of data loss and systems failure is essential.
At Attracting Solutions, we understand the vulnerabilities presented by todays IT ecosystems, and how to protect against each of them, whether your data and systems reside in the cloud, on premise, a hybrid, on varied platforms and applications, locally, remotely, and siloed. All require proper protection and redundancy, and a plan to respond to emergencies and restore systems and data quickly and efficiently.
While keeping data in the cloud protects against local hardware failure, cloud data is still vulnerable to malware infection and other risks, and cloud providers such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon AWS recommend backup and disaster recovery protection for all cloud data.
Cloud and Onsite
Data Backup & Recovery
As business, organizations, municipalities and educational institutions evolve, one thing seems to remain constant: you have more data to contend with every single day than the day before.
According to Statista, the amount of data being created, captured, copied, and consumed worldwide is doubling nearly every four years.
Email alone contributes to this mountain of data. The number of sent and received emails worldwide on a daily basis is estimated to be over 360 billion per day. That’s 250,000,000 emails every minute!
This seemingly endless stream of new data begs the following questions:
- Where you will you put all this data?
- How do you access it when you need to?
The Rule of 3-2-1
Three copies of your data should exist on two different pieces of media, one of which should be offsite. For example, using Office 365 to save to itself violates every one of these basic data protection concepts. It’s like backing up your laptop files to another section on your local hard drive. An application or software should be protected by something that exists outside the app.
Your Data is the Cloud, but Where?
Sure, everything is in the cloud these days, but where exactly is your data? And if you have to retrieve it, how would you find it? For example, with Microsoft products such as Outlook or OneDrive or SharePoint, many people don’t realize that data for each of these is treated separately and thus sometimes stored separately. Therefore, the only way to back it all up and restore it all, is to have a system that can readily find it, store it and retrieve it. And that’s nearly impossible to do just using native Microsoft or Office 365 backup tools.
Some Products Only Backup the Last 30 Days
Some products back themselves up automatically to the cloud which is helpful, but here’s a real gotcha. Did you know that Microsoft Outlook for example, will NOT backup emails older than 30 days. Limited file storage capacity is another challenge. Have you ever found yourself deleting files to make room for your limits? A true backup system can save you from this nightmare.
Regulations and Compliance
Regulated industries such finance and healthcare for example have stricter regulatory compliance that may go well beyond typical backup methods. HIPAA for example, requires your medical data to be kept safe and accessible for 7 years. But even GDPR and CanSpam requirements can affect almost any business. If you ever find yourself subject to a data audit of any kind, you will want to have the peace of mind that you have access to accurate historical records.
Ransomware and Hackers
Chances are you either know someone directly or have heard of someone affected by ransomware that has held their data hostage in exchange for payment. According to a 2017 article from CNN, over 300,000 machines were taken down by a single ransomware called WannaCry.
The hard truth is that that many businesses and organizations remain at risk. The only way to protect your business from ransomware is to keep a full and complete backup of all your data readily available.
