There are a few things that Veeam is working on that I want to highlight as we go into 2021. Read more

Security challenges for IT professionals and organizations today are multitudinous. Every day we learn of an organization that became a victim to a cybersecurity breach or other malicious event, such as ransomware, essentially putting their business and their customers’ sensitive data at risk.

Data security is easy on a conceptual level: Protect your data while maintaining availability. This means protecting your data from malicious outside forces and restricting access to that data based on user roles. For example, someone in sales does not need access to the HR financial and disciplinary records and vice versa. Also, consider that no protection is perfect or impervious to attacks. To limit the potential damage of authorized and unauthorized people, organizations should look at using a layered approach. This is the only way to ensure optimal data security. Locking down a network is equally as important as educating your users and encrypting data. Read more

All this means that without preventive maintenance, you are increasing your chances of losing money, time and maybe getting a couple of new grey hairs. Read more

Disasters come in all shapes and sizes, from a full site failure, to failure of something like a storage array. There may be a natural disaster where your data center is, or you may even have a malicious actor inside your environment seeking to harm your business.

Whatever the case, you need a plan, and all plans are not created equal. Then, once you have your plan, you need to test it and update it on a regular basis. Read more
