Are all your business's data, files, and systems well secured? With over 2,200 cyber attacks daily, the threat to your website is too significant to ignore the investment in protecting your information and that of your users and clients. In this article, we explain how to ensure that you have a backup of your data even in case of a problem, malicious attacks on your website, or an accidental action on your part.
Practically, there is no business that doesn’t benefit from having backup copies of its data, but in some industries and companies, this is a critical factor for their operations and even a legal requirement. Among those most affected by cyberattacks and with the greatest need for data backup are organizations like:
Accounting firms and financial institutions that handle confidential information about businesses and individuals
Online merchants who accept and process payments through their online stores
Small and medium-sized businesses that lack the knowledge, resources, and IT infrastructure to properly protect their information
Government institutions and large enterprises that process and store massive amounts of personal or user data
Daily backups
Daily backups guarantee that up-to-date data and information will not be deleted or lost, and you can fully restore them on any given day. If you are handling your online business's security yourself, make sure your equipment and systems perform such regular data backups. If you rely on an IT partner providing server and IT services for your business, check whether they perform daily backups of the data you store with them.
Test regularly
Even if you use a backup service or software, make sure it works as expected before you are forced to use it in real situations. Test its functionalities and check whether you could restore all your files and data seamlessly if needed.
Keep your software and equipment in flawless condition
Use and maintain reliable software that ensures the protection of your files and data. Also, make sure your server equipment is stored in suitable conditions with restricted access. Note that the maintenance of both your systems and servers is an ongoing process, and updating them is crucial to protect your business against malicious actions.
Rely on multiple data backups
If you work with a web hosting partner, in most cases they will ensure backup copies of your data are stored in multiple locations, no matter where your physical equipment is located. In this way, you can practically guarantee the ability to restore your information in almost any hardware-related issue. However, if you rely on your own local servers in your company offices, we recommend securing at least 2 additional backups of your data, with at least one stored offline.
Ensure proactive monitoring and immediate response
To secure your business against cybercrime, you also need proactivity, which includes constant monitoring and resources ready for immediate reaction if needed. The system administrators on your team must be able to recognize potential threats and instantly restore backup copies of your site and data if they are compromised or lost.
To successfully manage all the tasks above, you will either need to invest significant resources in managing and developing an internal IT team and infrastructure, or entrust the job to an experienced partner.
