Data Recovery
Data recovery or disaster recovery
as it is better known is another area that businesses
are encouraged to focus upon. With the increasing
number of external and internal IT threats that
businesses face, the consequences can be far too
exacting for complacency.
-
Acts of God (fire, flood)
-
Worms/Viruses
-
Hackers/Angry employees
They are all factors that are cause
for concern, especially if vital data is destroyed or
irretrievable. It is not only loss of valuable data,
but could be a loss of confidence in the business from
customers and employees alike.
There are various ways in which the
associated risks can be reduced:
-
Firewalls-Antivirus Software
-
Encryption Devices
-
Intrusion Detection Methods
-
Content Scanners
-
Hardware Review and File
-
Backup Recovery Review
The hardware review is very simply
an asset tagging exercise where we are able to offer
full documentation of the original server configuration
should disaster strike. A full audit and citation
service is available as a reference point for asset
registration and disaster recovery documentation.
The backup recovery review is
similar and relates to the data storage rather than the
hardware. If an organisation were to have complete
system failure, their only source of data and
information may be the backups that have been
completed.
DAT and DLT are the main
technologies available to aid in this or online back up
is an alternative solution (see security/data backup)
It is essential that as a business you secure your
networks as well as your data. Fiverivers can carry out
a risk assessment in order to establish how in-depth
your disaster recovery procedures need to be.
