How to protect your data?
Access Controls - Proper management of user accounts, passwords and permission are the first line of defence in protecting your organizations data and should be monitored and audited regularly.
Backups - a backup solution that does full system images which are stored both onsite and and in the cloud provides for quick reliable recovery regardless of the type of data loss, but most important is testing of the recovery process to ensure it works when needed. Datto's state-of-the-art technology and infrastructure can protect your business from downtime, even if your physical hardware has been destroyed.
