How important is your data? Can you continue to function if your data was accidentally deleted or corrupted/encrypted by a malware outbreak? If the answer is no then you risk interrupting your entire business, losing customers or clients, damaging your businesses reputation or suffering a financial loss.

Cloud platforms, the holy grail of data storage – or so many might think. While these platforms are a wonderful tool for storing and managing company data, they don’t provide foolproof data protection. Data stored in the cloud can still fall victim to malicious attacks, user error and accidental overwriting. It’s unlikely Microsoft or Googles servers will entirely fail but it’s very possible for someone in accounts to accidentally delete something they later need. Yes, cloud platforms are great for productivity, but when it comes to your business data, additional precautions are a necessity.
