Currently, more and more organizations are using digital solutions to conduct their business. This in turn increases the risk of cyber-attacks. Entrepreneurs must take appropriate steps to protect their data and IT infrastructure from cyber criminals. One solution is Disaster Recovery services, which allow for proper data protection and quick data restoration after a failure, which in most cases are difficult or even impossible to predict.
A strategy for business continuity
In today’s uncertain times, the loss of business data is one of the darkest scenarios for any organization, regardless of the industry. Therefore, the detailed development of a Business Continuity Plan is one of the most important aspects of conducting business. In the event of unavailability of key systems, financial and reputational losses can lead to serious consequences, so it is extremely important for companies to properly secure their data against failures, natural disasters, or cyber-attacks.
The past few years have brought many challenges to businesses, but what currently poses the greatest threat to companies are cyber-attacks that can have a huge impact on their further functioning – says Adrian Hojny, CTO at Fashion Trends Group.
One of the most frequently conducted cyber-attacks is the acquisition, and then blocking of access to sensitive data by encrypting it. In the event of such a situation, the ability to efficiently restore the system allows for minimizing downtime, which directly translates into maintaining business continuity and reducing costs associated with data loss.
Backup data center
Polcom Disaster Recovery solution allows for significantly reducing the risk of losing control over processes related to enterprise management in the event of a crisis situation. The service allows for preparing a scenario that includes a smooth switch of the primary data processing center to the backup center. By replicating the IT infrastructure in another location, companies can be sure that the downtime of critical systems is minimized. Investing regularly in the latest security solutions, in turn, guarantees a high level of protection of corporate assets.
Disaster Recovery solutions are therefore crucial for organizations that aim to protect their data and IT infrastructure, as well as the availability of systems and applications used. Although the implementation of the solution requires certain investment costs, it is an investment that can prove invaluable for continuing operations after a failure.
