The Business Continuity Center

Just as huge amounts of unstructured data pose a storage challenge to your clients, it also contains a hidden opportunity. 

Solution providers need to be on the front foot and encourage active backup recovery and restore testing as part of any cyber defense strategy.

It’s not just “an IT issue” when an organization can’t access its data. Everyone in the organization is affected, from the CEO to line of business employees.   

For those enterprise clients storing their data on-premises, replicated data creates is creating real costs. 

Backed-up enterprise data is both the potential lifeline key to overcoming ransomware attacks—and a new vulnerability if not protected. 

What would happen to your client if they had to shut off their flow of product for days while they backtracked a data breach?

It may be easy to confuse business continuity with resiliency, but there’s a big difference. Resiliency means the ability to react and adapt quickly to disruptions, so you can return to or maintain normal business operations. 

As the MSP or solution provider protecting customer data, you may need to rely on what your client has done—and not done—before the attack to solve the problem. You’ll be in a much better position if you’ve taken one of the key steps to mitigate any corruption, encryption or change to vital data.
