Are your backups safe from cybercriminals? Backups are crucial for protecting your data against ransomware and other threats. However, attackers are becoming increasingly savvy and will exploit any gaps in your backup strategy.
We all know technology isn’t infallible, and sometimes things go wrong. When disruptions occur, this is called an incident. It refers to any interruption or degradation in the quality of your IT services—things like systems becoming unresponsive, logging-in issues for employees, slow network performance, or data file corruption.
The popular thinking is that a data breach is caused by malicious hackers, but that’s not always true. Breaches may occur intentionally or unintentionally. Unintentional data breaches occur when people accidentally leak sensitive information to the outside world. Data leaks can just as easily result from a simple oversight by individuals or flaws in a company’s IT services and infrastructure.
