Highlights
00:34 — A top priority for organizations is to ensure the security and integrity of the company. Because of that, Frank raises the importance of data backup and recovery software. This type of software offers comprehensive data protection, enabling easy backup and restoration of data if a disaster or unexpected event, such as ransomware, were to occur.
01:10 — A key feature of backup software is recovery capabilities. This means you can quickly and easily restore individual files and folders — and even specific application data — without having to restore the entire system. Because this feature reduces the risk of data loss and minimizes the time to recover, this feature is critical.
01:37 — Automation capabilities are another feature that allows users to set policies and schedules. With this feature, backups are always up-to-date, reducing the risk of data loss. Additionally, automating these backup processes frees the security team to focus on other important tasks.
01:56 — Advanced reporting and analytics capabilities provide a complete view of the data protection status, which helps in identifying potential issues ahead of time to take corrective action.
02:10 — Your backup solution should protect your data from unauthorized access. Your tools should use encryption during both backup and recovery so that if an unauthorized person gains access, they will not be able to read the data.
02:29 — Frank urges organizations to not make backup and recovery an afterthought in their security strategies. Data must be protected from malware and disaster through a robust strategy, which should include backup software.
