Debunking three data protection myths – News

In today’s digital age, data protection is more critical than ever for businesses. With the average global cost of a data breach reaching $4.45 million and downtime costing over $1 million per hour for enterprises, organizations cannot afford to overlook the importance of safeguarding their data. However, there are still several misconceptions surrounding data protection that need to be debunked in 2024.

One common myth is that cloud providers automatically back up your data. While many businesses store data and workloads on the cloud, there is a misunderstanding of the cloud’s shared responsibility model. Cloud providers ensure the availability and integrity of their infrastructure, but it is the customer’s responsibility to protect and recover their data. Data backup and disaster recovery are shared responsibilities, with customers needing to configure and manage backups according to their specific needs.

Another prevalent misconception is related to paying ransoms for ransomware attacks. While ransomware remains a top threat for data breaches, paying the ransom does not guarantee a quick or successful recovery. Recovering from ransomware attacks is a manual and time-consuming process, with decryption keys unlocking only a small number of files at a time. Organizations are encouraged to focus on data backup and system recovery as a safer and more reliable alternative to paying ransoms.

Using backups after a ransomware incident is crucial for organizations looking to recover from attacks. However, there are common challenges that organizations face when using backups for recovery. Backup repositories can be targeted and compromised during the incident, emphasizing the need for multiple backups and immutable storage. Additionally, having a backup environment ready for data recovery is essential, as the production environment may be unavailable during an outage.

It is essential for organizations to continuously educate themselves and their stakeholders on data protection and resilience. With new threats and technologies emerging constantly, staying informed and adapting to these challenges is key to ensuring data security. By dispelling myths and increasing awareness around data protection, businesses can better prepare themselves to mitigate risks and respond effectively to data breaches and cyberattacks.

As highlighted by the Senior Regional Director at Veeam Software, Mohamad Rizk, the importance of data protection cannot be understated in today’s digital landscape. By addressing misconceptions and implementing robust data protection strategies, organizations can protect their valuable assets and mitigate the financial and reputational risks associated with data breaches and cyber incidents.
