Businesses looking to improve their data security should take heed of the following advice.Accountingweb.com has published a list of top tips for businesses looking to improve their data backup and recovery systems.
The website stated that firms should use online backup to move data offsite, as well as ensuring that work-in-process files on laptops, desktops, and home PCs are factored into backup plan.
Furthermore, companies need to consider the use of end-to-end data encryption to help stop files being accessed by unauthorised individuals and should avoid backup processes that require human intervention as this can lead to greater instances of data corruption.
Meanwhile, the Cambridge Network recently published a number of tips to improve data security for businesses against insider attacks.
The website claimed that ensuring user accounts only have the privileges required to carry out their jobs is paramount and also having a robust backup and recovery system in place is a must, ensuring a firm can retrieve any lost files in the event of an attack.
