The importance of
data security
In many business areas, IT is the backbone supporting all departments and operations of a company. A severe fracture can lead to irreparable data loss or even the permanent closing of the business.
We are here to help you assess potential threats and to recommend solutions.
In spite of increased cyber attacks frequency, most business leaders either feel it will never happen to them or underestimate their impact until it is too late. We recommend defending agains data loss, intentional or accidental, through the following methods:
All data held solely on users' stations are in constant danger of irreparable loss. No matter if you are the victim of a ransomware attack, a hardware fault or human error, data without redundancy copies is data you feel does not matter.
We recommend that all our customers implement a 3-2-1 backup strategy:
- 3 copies of the data (1 production and 2 copies);
- 2 different media / locations;
- 1 or more in cloud.
Both Microsoft (Microsoft 365) and Google (Google Workspace) offer dedicated apps that sync the local files of a user to their cloud account (shared or otherwise). Therefore, losing the device or having it infected does not lead to data loss.
User access to company resources must always be granted on a need-to-know basis. In addition, access must also be restricted by at least two methods (password AND code sent to mobile device or a dedicated multi-factor authentication app).
