Prevent Storms & Cybercriminals From Touching Your Data

prevent-storms-cybercriminals-from-touching-your-dataCybercriminals, storms, hacks and hurricanes are all simply waiting to pounce on your data. And often times, businesses never see it coming. Disaster Recovery (DR) tools have your back when something unexpectedly targets your organization; they can prevent or decrease downtime, plus provide added protection for your bottom line.

Opinion Matters completed research on behalf of iland last year and found that severe weather caused about 20 percent of outages, while operational failures were responsible for 53 percent of them.

About a decade ago, DR solutions seemed incredibly complex and expensive to potential buyers in the space, leading them to opt for something else, according to CloudTech. However, the cloud-based DR market has grown in popularity, therefore making it easier for companies to select a new and affordable tool. If you haven’t yet, it’s time to jump on board.

Be sure that your Disaster Recover as a Service (DRaaS) tool offers technical support, easy implementation, options for testing by the user, and the ability to extend when it comes to security and compliance.

So, you have objections and questions? We have answers.

“It’s too expensive.”

Decision makers naturally have a pulse on their budget, but this is one tool that shouldn’t be left out due to cost. Plus, there are several options out there to minimize pricing, including selecting a tool that allows users to pay only for what they need. And they are often billed by VM or by TB of storage. With an on-demand pricing model, costs are lower than most think. And, your budget will take less of a hit investing in DRaaS than a second data center.

“I already have backup.”

Whether your business already has a backup system in place or not, it still needs DRaaS given that it’s most likely not protected from a local disaster without it. Not to mention that not having a DR solution would mean having to wait hours or days until data was restored.

“A hurricane will not hit my office.”

Whether the area you work in has great weather or not, your business should still be concerned with outages. While storms are often responsible for knocking out power, human error can do it just as well. The recent uptick in ransomware attacks is simple proof of that.

Because IT doesn’t have control over those types of threats, it’s best to have a DR tool in place to secure your company’s data.

“A small amount of downtime is fine”

Enterprises without customer facing systems often believe that a little downtime would not affect their bottom line. However, according to CloudTech, it can have a big impact on revenue. And decision makers often overlook the fact that end users are doing more and more business sonline, and they’ve also become less tolerant of any interruptions. Just a few minutes of downtime could affect a customer’s loyalty.
