Disaster Recovery Surya Varanasi , CTO , StorCentric , explains the consequences of insider threats to be monetary and reputational damage . “ The cost of operations downtime , lost revenue , legal fees , regulations compliance penalties , a rise in insurance premiums , and / or a loss of customer trust ,” can all be devastating to a company . “ The need to backup data has become ubiquitous . But now , as ransomware and other malware attacks continue to increase in severity and sophistication , we understand the need to protect backed up data by making it immutable and by eliminating any way that data can be deleted or corrupted .”
“ If the worst does happen , it is essential to have a disaster recovery and backup plan so that any lost data can be recovered as quickly as possible ,” furthers Andy Bates , Practice Director , Security at Node4 . “ This will ensure that downtime is kept to a minimum , whilst also protecting your organisation ' s reputation - reputational damage of insider action often costs more than the financial consequences they bring , and must be at the forefront of any security strategy ."
