Streamlining Your Backup Process – How Soteria Offers One Solution for All Your Backup Needs

Every year, South African businesses lose millions of Rand to cybercriminals, and with the incidence of ransomware attacks and hacking incidents still rising it’s only a matter of time until your business finds itself in their crosshairs.

Unless, of course, you take proactive steps like automated backups.

Keeping a recent copy of your important files can make the difference between total disaster and a chance of recovery in the wake of a cyberattack.

Manually backing up your files is not only time-consuming but also impractical for most business owners. That’s why automated backups are the best option for enterprises of all sizes.

Backups: an essential and overlooked aspect of data security

With all the important things that go on in your business every day, backing up files may not be your top priority.

Companies can go years without backing up their data correctly and not be any worse off for it. Until the day when a cyberattack takes place and owners and management start scrambling to access reliable copies of their important data.

The financial cost to your business in the wake of a cyberattack can be significant, but the long term reputational damage that it can cause could be worse.

Once clients come to learn that their data has been leaked, they may question your business’s commitment to privacy protection- even if you took reasonable measures to avoid the cyberattack. Restoring your data from a recent backup can help you recover operationally and give your customers confidence in your IT security system.

No matter how you look at it, backing up important files is essential. Fortunately, you can save time and enjoy peace of mind by streamlining and automating this process with Soteria.

Future proofing your business with cloud storage

With the rate of change in technology, including data management, every business with an ambitious growth plan needs to be a step ahead of the changes taking place in the digital realm.

As bandwidth continues to increase and companies’ data requirements reach new heights, the need to protect sensitive information has never been more acute.

With South Africa facing a wave of cybercrime that has caught many companies unawares, it’s essential to look ahead at what the future may hold and ensure that your business is ready to survive and thrive in the unpredictable years to come.

Bandwidth creates opportunities for real-time cloud backup

While 5G networks roll out around the world and high-speed internet becomes a minimum expectation for businesses, a raft of new productivity features are now within reach of every enterprise.

From video conferencing and cloud-based productivity software across all industries to the latest card storage solutions, increased bandwidth comes with increased opportunities.

As uncapped bandwidth and upload speeds soar, companies no longer have a reason not to back up their data.
It’s essential to use today’s high-speed internet to sync and backup files in real time so that your organisation’s information is stored securely in the event of a cyberattack.

Address privacy concerns and regulatory compliance

Data security and privacy have become rights that citizens and businesses around the world are demanding as our lives- both personal and professional – increasingly play out online.

The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) places a strong burden on companies to ensure that their clients’ confidential information is kept safe.
This doesn’t mean that information could never be lost in the event of a cyberattack or data leak but it does mean that companies will have to prove that they’ve taken all reasonable measures to ensure data security.

POPI non-compliance could result in fines of up to R10 million and possible criminal prosecution, making it crucial to implement high level data security with a reliable backup provider.

Real-time cloud backup collaboration and data sharing

The days when teams would wait for a weekly report before moving forward with a project or making decisions are long over. As companies embrace real time collaboration, their data requirements are increasing exponentially – and so are the number of files that could be targeted by hackers.

Before you share a file internally, you need to know that it’s safe from prying eyes and won’t fall into the hands of cybercriminals.

Secure cloud storage has become an essential part of every company’s IT requirements, and it will only increase in the future.
