What’s at Risk
Your customers, contractors, employees, and supply chain are expecting your business to be up and running. There is a high expectation that you’ll always be “on”. There are a number of challenges that your company may face that can interrupt business continuity and affect brand trust. These include:
- Ransomware
- Mergers & Acquisitions
- Third-Party Supply Chain Attacks
- Natural Disasters
We go into detail about all of these scenarios and how you can put risk at the forefront of your data protection decisions.
Comparing Backup and DRaaS
How can you make sure you’re completely covered in case of a disaster? We go on to compare backup and DRaaS from the lenses of planning, testing, implementation, internal IT workload, and cost. There are major differences between these two including:
- Cost Model
- Data Protection Focus
- Recovery Plan Granularity
- Recovery Process
- And more
Making a Choice
Planning is key to protecting your organization in the wake of an interruption. If you’ve never worked through a disaster recovery scenario, it’s vital to consider leveraging an expert partner who has. Other things to consider implementing to fully cover your data load are:
- Performing a business impact analysis
- Completing a risk assessment
- Determining the gaps in your technology or IT team abilities
- Building a recovery plan per scenario/disaster
- Testing that plan to make sure it works for your business
