We recommend the 3-2-1 backup strategy; at least three or four total verifiable copies of your data, two can be local but on different mediums, and two copies off-site. Back-up monitoring and verification is recommended but a disaster recovery must be in place, because you can still get infected, and data recovery is not guaranteed. Data loss is very real. Talk to us about the best approach for your business. Contact OMA Comp IT support for more information.
The old backup scheme is not adequate and is no longer the gold standard for businesses. This backup system was based on old fears of fire and theft but this is no longer enough. Now the most common and real risk of data loss is due to ransomware, a very debilitating cyberthreat. Ransomware is malicious software that infects your computer. Your data will be blocked and often your backup destroyed until a hefty payment is received by cybercriminals who usually require compensation in bitcoin to avoid being apprehended. Ransomware can destroy business operations for weeks on end and can take small businesses down altogether. When data is recovered, there is an additional cost and time involved to get everything up and running. If your backup location is stored in the cloud, every time it is restored, the ransomware code can initiate to re-infect your systems. Cloud backups and data recovery plans have to be rethought and managed. Contact OMA Comp to learn about best practices for your business.
As the holidays are in full swing and more people than ever are shopping online due to the pandemic, this is a great time to remember to set email alerts on credit cards, lock your credit, and be cautious when buying online. Identity theft is a booming business and you don’t want to be the victim.
It is very common in small businesses to wing it as you go, which can often lead you into trouble with unanticipated expenses or getting off track.
