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 MethodsContent 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.
