Backup System, The Essential of Every Organization

In the modern world, threats or attacks come in a variety of forms such as Ransom or Ransomware that causes huge damages to businesses, and Web Phishing that sends fake email asking the victims to fill in personal information or password that may cause damages to the organization.

Mr. Sakprasert Apiwatthanadet, Customer Success Director of Veritas Technologies Company Limited in Thailand, gave the information that every organization needed their own Backup and Recovery system because of the growing number of threats and the enforcement of Thai laws.

However, some organizations may previously have not built their own backup system. They may think that it was unnecessary to make such investment as several resources were required resulting in increasing costs with no clear business interests. Consequently, the system was built slowly, and it was sometimes not timely.

Recommendations

  1. Do not assume that your business will never be attacked, especially in the era that cyber threats are so close to us, because this will be the starting point that leads the organization to place no importance on Backup and Recovery system.
  2. Communication within the organization must be clear. The executives and the IT department must understand all operation patterns in the company and find solutions to support the development of Backup in a comprehensive manner.
  3. Try to find solutions with AI or shift to automatic work system as much as possible to allow 24/7 work operation and reduce errors.

Another factor that made the development of Backup system more difficult was the current workload of which the amount were several times greater than before including IoT system, Big Data or AI. In addition, large organizations had branches and offices in many locations resulting in data distributed in each branch. As a result, data backup was even more difficult.
