Search Data Backup, Thursday, April 4th, 2024
They might be viewed as separate functions, but data backup should be part of an overall data protection strategy to thwart ransomware and comply with stringent privacy laws.
Too much data in your corporate environment? Don't know where your high-value data is or how to protect it? Without an effective strategy to collect, retain, monetize and eliminate data, information overload can overwhelm every aspect of business operations.
Protecting important data files, such as credit card transactions and personally identifiable information, throughout the data lifecycle underscores the need for governance, risk management and compliance initiatives in finance, healthcare and just about every other industry. Data backup is a key part of that plan. Compliance with data protection regulations, driven by federal law and industry standards (HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0) as well as state (CCPA) and European Union (GDPR) privacy laws, requires procedures to recover data.
