Tips for preventing a ransomware attack on World Backup Day
To protect against a ransomware attack and its effects, Novak points out at the World Backup Dayit is necessary always have backups. It may seem trivial but it is clear that having a backup of your data is the right way to limit the damage of a ransomware attack. However, installing a backup solution alone is not enough, but it can still help businesses.
Focus on offline storage
It is also very important make sure your backups are not connected to the computers and networks you are backing up to. It may be useful to focus on aoffline storage in order to protect themselves from large-scale attacks. It is also important periodically verify that the backups were performed correctly. In fact, in the event of an emergency, it must be possible to completely restore the data, without recording any critical issues.
World Backup Day can therefore be the right occasion to check that you have put in place all the systems you need to protect yourself against the threats of a ransomware attack. It takes very little to reduce the risks associated with this type of attack.
