All business organisations have important information stored in the form of data. In most cases the data is very sensitive and can contain the personal details of many people. So it is essential to protect the data from being stolen or accessed by unwanted people.
Research and surveys have shown that more than half of the ex-employees of any company have with them data which is of immense importance to the company. Thus Mike Spinney, a senior privacy analyst of a reputed research organisation called the Ponemon Institute, is of the view that every company must have a viable data protection strategy.
Mike Spinney is just one expert from a group, all of whom think likewise. As losing important data can not only cause problems for the company but also lots of people in many ways, it is important thus to protect data by encrypting it.
Online backup is the easiest and the most economic way to protect any database. Online backup is a method of storing data which is encrypted and then stored on a distant server. Thus online backup is also helpful as a disaster recovery solution.
