Does your Disaster recovery strategy include an “Air Gap”? With many organisations now relying on cloud infrastructure and hosting services to host their critical data, it is vital that your backup and recovery strategy includes a backup that is not always connected to the connected world. Many malware and ransomware infections actively look for all connected devices to infect. If your system is infected with ransomware are you protected against all your data being encrypted? Only a backup that has an “air gap” or is not connected to your infrastructure, is truly safe and a guaranteed way to recover your systems. An air gapped backup is virtually impossible to compromise unless you’re physically there in person. A backup and disaster recovery plan should include an air gapped solution for your data, that is taken off site to your business. This also protects you from flood or fire and allows you to recover your business in a timely fashion. It also important that you know if your backups are working so a strategy must also include a report on the status of your backup.
