Backups. Not a super-sexy topic of conversation, but when you or your clients have been breached, they can be a lifesaver. So this week, we’re having a chat with frequent podcast guest Tony Anscombe, global security evangelist at ESET, about the strategy behind backing up.
We discuss:
- how backup fits into an overall cyber-resilience plan, and even more so in the era of ransomware;
- the evolving drivers and processes of a backup strategy;
- how to think about backing up cloud-based data and applications, including service level agreements;
- the background of backup as a fundamental of managed services;
- looking at backup protection against more than just cyberthreats;
- why owning multiple customers’ backups may make MSPs and their backup providers an attractive target for attack;
- best practices for auditing and testing backups;
- how regulations and legislation impact backup strategies;
- the infrastructure for restoring data in the wake of a breach or outage and how quickly a business needs to be back up and running; and
- the ubiquitous need for a backup strategy and why that makes it a great tentpole for managed services sales.
