World Backup Day Comes Once A Year -- But Protect Your Data Every Day, Warns eMazzanti President Carl Mazzanti
Wednesday, April 9, 2025
HOBOKEN, N.J., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The excitement around World Backup Day may be over, but the need to periodically back up your data remains, warns Carl Mazzanti, President of eMazzanti Technologies. "Nation-state and other bad actors are using Artificial Intelligence to launch increasingly sophisticated Cyberattacks -- and are doing so more frequently -- so periodic backups are a critical part of a layered Cybersecurity Defense," he notes. "An experienced IT support provider can create automated cloud backup and other solutions to prevent data loss from errors, and from natural or other disasters or Cyberattacks."
A ransomware attack on San Francisco public TV and radio station KQED disabled many of the organization's computers and eventually shut down the entire network. Hackers demanded a bitcoin ransom to restore access. But the station ignored the demands and recovered its files -- including member and donor information -- because all the data had previously been backed up.
Besides helping organizations to quickly recover from a Cyberattack or other interruption, "Insurance companies often request proof of a comprehensive backup plan before issuing a Cyber Insurance policy," Mazzanti adds. "So, for multiple reasons, periodic backups are a must-have activity. When we think about ransomware attacks on organizations like KQED, we realize how World Backup Day serves as a reminder to back up our digital files and help prevent the permanent loss of important data."
Best practices include:
-- Automating backups, so they occur frequently and repeatedly.
-- Securing copied data. Protect your backups by encrypting and storing
them in various locations, like the cloud, to keep them safe and easily
accessible.
-- Restoration, or creating a plan to retrieve your data.
-- Disaster recovery plans need to have steps for dealing with security
incidents. These actions should include who to contact first, assessing
the damage, and promptly informing customers.
Following best practices for data backup is a key component of a layered Cybersecurity plan. "Layered security is a network approach that deploys multiple controls across different levels of your environment," Mazzanti advises. "This way, if nation-state or other bad actor gets through one system, they will be blocked by other security layers. A trusted IT services provider can help you design effective layered security, backup, restoration and other plans."
