Cyber Hygiene – World Backup Day

Today is World Backup Day and in honor of this celebration WaterISAC is reminding all members of the importance of keeping multiple secure backups to ensure the security and resilience of their data and technical operations. One of the most efficient methods for backing up your data is the “3-2-1” approach. The first part entails maintaining three separate copies of the data, one is the original version and the other two serve as backups. Second, two backup copies should be stored on different types of media, such as an external thumb drive, tape drive, or cloud infrastructure. And third, its important to store at least one copy of the two backups at an offsite location. The steps are as easy as “3-2-1.” Ensuring your organization has multiple secure backups will go a long way in mitigating the risk of ransomware and other disruptive attacks. Read more at Tripwire.
