When it comes to choosing cloud storage for backups, there are many beneficial reasons that comes in supporting the decision, like:
- Cost benefits.
- Ease and flexibility of construction and maintenance.
But apart from the above listed financial benefits and easiness there is yet another important benefit to be considered- Data security against Ransomware. Ransomware is a malware attack where the user’s computer data is corrupted or rendered unusable by malware’s encryption. Unfortunately, it gets worse. The user is then forced to pay a ransom amount in order to access the data under attack. The encrypted data becomes unusable without the correct encryption key.
Even if the user pays the demanded ransom, there is never any assurance of ever receiving the encryption key. In most cases, users continue to get victimized by further ransom demands.
To avoid such issues, it is wise to maintain a copy of business critical data in an offsite location that is away from your network area. Further, your backup storage should be protected with high level security. Aside from dodging possible ransom threats, it also a good idea to have a solid plan that meets disasters head on.
