Data security in transition

With the trend to work more and more from home or on the move and the reliance on digital systems, the need for data backup and recovery services has increased. Companies have recognised the importance of protecting their data and ensuring business continuity in the face of potential disruption.

With more and more employees working from home in recent years, the need for remote backup solutions has become critical. Organisations must focus on secure and reliable backup solutions that can be accessed remotely to meet the demands of remote working environments.

The pandemic has brought the issue of cyber security to the forefront. With the increase in remote working, organisations are more vulnerable to cyber threats, including data breaches and ransomware attacks. It is extremely important for organisations to develop a well thought out backup strategy and to continually train employees and make them aware of the latest tricks used by cyber criminals.
MOUNT10, together with many other well-known companies, has launched the SCD-DNA initiative to provide support against the increasing threat. Here, SMEs can find a free guide for their company to protect themselves simply and efficiently against the dangers of cybercrime and major financial losses.

The last few years have presented challenges in managing the physical backup infrastructure. Due to the travel restrictions and limited access to data centres back then, companies have found it difficult to maintain and manage their physical backup systems. This has led to an increased reliance on cloud-based backup solutions.

Many companies have faced financial challenges due to the economic impact. This has led to a focus on cost optimisation and budget constraints, including IT backup services. Organisations may need to re-evaluate their backup strategies and focus on flexible backup solutions.
With flexible backup solutions, such as MOUNT10’s solutions, the required storage capacity is calculated individually and companies only pay for the amount of data volume required. If more or less capacity is needed for the backup, this can be adjusted as needed.

The last 3 years have been a wake-up call for many organisations to prioritise data backup and recovery. The potential risks and disruptions caused by the pandemic have highlighted the importance of having robust data backup services in place. This has led to a greater awareness of IT backup services and their adoption across various industries.
