Why Backups And Encryption Go Hand In Hand
comforte, March 30th, 2023
Data sits front and center of any business. And it's being generated in ever greater volumes. An estimated 120 zettabytes will be created, captured, copied, and consumed worldwide this year.
That presents an attractive target for would-be data thieves and digital extortionists. And an increasingly robust if fragmented global regulatory regime means potentially severe penalties for organizations which don't put the 'appropriate technical and organisational measures' in place to keep it safe.
World Backup Day on Friday should therefore provide a timely reminder for IT security teams to mitigate threats to corporate data in line with industry guidance. But backups alone are not enough. Both backed-up data and indeed data located across the enterprise must also be protected to minimize security and compliance risk.
