If you've ever fallen off a skateboard, you'll know that it can be rather painful. Now imagine, falling off wearing nothing but a speedo. With all that extra flesh exposed, chances are it's going to hurt even more.
Failing to protect your company's critical data is a little like riding a skateboard in a speedo. You may be aware of the risks and the ramifications should something go awry, but you don't take the necessary precautions to keep yourself safe.
This time of year is the best time to rethink your backups and data security.
"Let's all face it, when we go on holiday, many of us still need to be able to check in with the office," says Alto Africa CEO, Justin Trent. Laptops are part of our holiday luggage but they can easily be stolen, lost or have that afternoon sundowner spilled all over them, he continues.
Over the holiday season, it's ever more important that your data is backed up. Trent advises that businesses do so automatically, without any human intervention.
Similarly, it's also important that companies are aware of how data is shared within the organisation and what happens when business information flows out of company boundaries. Any sharing of data has to be done through secure methods, notes Trent. "No company wants their data floating around cyberspace without proper controls in place. Being able to see who is sharing data, downloading data or being able to remotely wipe data in the event that a company device is lost or stolen are all options that should be in the control of the company."
It's best to have a single product that handles all backups and secure file sharing to guarantee that you always have control over corporate data. With Druva inSync your business mitigates the security risks associated with cloud storage and worker mobility by converging data governance, data loss prevention, secure backup and file sharing.
