How much is your organisations data worth?
Company data is one of the most valuable assets an organisation has. With the digitisation
of business operations, each engagement or transaction, generates data. This data is extremely
valuable, making it a key focus for unscrupulous actors, cyber criminals and hackers. Without the
right contingencies in place, data becomes an easy target for criminals with the threat landscape
evolving significantly in 2021.

The safety and security of cloud backup depends on a number of factors, including the security measures implemented by your cloud service provider, the security practices of the organisation using the cloud backup service, and the specific security needs of the organisation.
Cloud service providers typically have robust security measures in place to protect the data of their customers. These can include measures such as data encryption, secure data centres, and access controls. However, it is important for organisations to carefully evaluate the security measures of a cloud service provider before choosing a cloud backup solution.
In addition to the security measures implemented by the cloud service provider, the safety of cloud backup also depends on the security practices of the organisation using the service. This includes practices such as regularly updating software and security protocols, training employees on security best practices, and implementing appropriate access controls.
Overall, cloud backup can be a safe and secure way to store data, provided that the cloud service provider has strong security measures in place and the organisation using the service has effective security practices in place. It is important for organisations to carefully evaluate the security measures of a cloud service provider and implement appropriate security practices to ensure the safety and security of their data.
Cloud backup can be an effective way to protect against ransomware attacks, as it allows organisations to create copies of their data and store them in a secure location. However, it is important for organisations to take steps to ensure that their cloud backup solution is properly configured and that their data is being backed up on a regular basis.
Here are some steps organisations can take to ensure the safety of their data in a cloud backup solution:
- Regularly test backups – It is important to regularly test the restore process to ensure that the data can be recovered in the event of a ransomware attack or other data loss event.
- Encrypt data – Encrypting data before it is sent to the cloud can help to protect it from ransomware attacks.
- Use multiple backup solutions – Using multiple backup solutions, such as both on-premises and cloud backup, can provide additional protection against ransomware attacks.
- Implement access controls – Implementing access controls, such as user authentication and access permissions, can help to prevent unauthorised access to the cloud backup solution.
- Train employees – Training employees on ransomware prevention and response can help to reduce the risk of a ransomware attack.
Overall, while cloud backup can be an effective way to protect against ransomware attacks, it is important for organisations to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of their data.
