Most cybersecurity programs start with stuff like passwords and antivirus. Unlike most cybersecurity measures I see listed on the internet, I will put backup as number one. Backup is the only thing that can protect you from cyberattack, equipment hardware and software failure, natural disaster, and physical theft. Any data you think is important must be backed up.
Not only does it need to be backed up, but it should also be documented how to restore in case of data loss. This doesn’t protect you from any threats but gives you your data back if there is a loss from any cause. Backups should be made to at least two locations besides your internal source and at least one of those should be in a different region.
Backup must be automatic and monitored. If not, the backup will likely not occur.
Recomendation:
We provide several types of backups. See our backup product page for details.
