Have you got your backup covered?

Ransomware attacks, where your data is threatened to be exposed or access to your data is blocked until you pay a ransom, is a particularly problematic instance of cyber crime. It is not a virus: it doesn’t replicate, infect, or alter the way a system works. Ransomware encrypts the victim’s files. Recovering the files without the decryption key is a difficult problem to overcome.

How do you protect yourself from loss of data and the hazards of ransomware? Backups of your data is crucial and a task that requires effort and expertise.

The cloud: not always full proof

Are you aware that neither Microsoft nor Google make backups of Office 365 or Gmail suites?  Quite unthinkable in the cloud era, where email and file servers are becoming obsolete! More and more companies rely on the cloud. Several studies indicate that over 40% of the companies do not backup their Office 365. Although Microsoft recommends this in their services agreement, in section 6.B.

The same goes for any cloud service where you can run servers, such as Azure. The servers aren’t physically present in your basement, but they need the same care as the old on-premises ones when it comes to security.
