Protect and back up sensitive data

 One of the most prominent forms of cyberattacks is called a ransomware attack. After an attacker infiltrates the corporate network, it installs code that encrypts the entire database. Then, they extort the company to pay a sum of money in exchange for the key to decrypt your data. Typically, these offers have a time limit. After they expire, they clean up the entire database. Worse yet, sometimes the attack will refuse to provide the decryption key after receiving payment. 


The best defense against these types of attacks is a strong and reliable backup strategy. Whether using tape, disk or backup storage in the cloud, it is essential to have some backup of your systems. 

A data center technician should answer questions and take queries from various sources and provide them with the right information. Knowledge of technology requirements is one of the required skills for a data center technician.

Finally, check for different credentials to access your backup environment. This will prevent a cyber attack from infiltrating the backup as well.
