5 Best Practices For Your Draas Offering To Ensure Cyber Resiliency
veeam News, Monday, October 30,2023
When it comes to DRaaS, there are so many facets that go into a reliable service. As a service provider, you have the expertise to ensure a smooth recovery, that applications are recovered and reconnected in the proper order and that everything has been tested and documented so when a system goes down unexpectedly the client can recover with ease.
In all these details, sometimes the basics can get lost. So, here is a list of five best practices to keep in mind.
Follow the 3-2-1-1-0 Rule in Your Off-Site Backup Offering!
First, the basics. A backup copy of all data should be kept in the event of total loss and the 3-2-1-1-0 rule is one way to ensure it will be valid and recoverable. You may be familiar with the 3-2-1 Rule? The added '1-0' helps ensure cyber resiliency. With so many frequent ransomware attacks, ensuring you have a copy of data that is immutable or unchangeable with zero errors is critical. Cybercriminals have been known to change the data in backups in advance of attacks to ensure you can't recover, ultimately leaving companies the only option to pay the ransom. So be sure you have a copy of clean data that cannot be changed.
