Hot on the heels of the recent case where an Army personnel’s hard drive was stolen, a laptop containing the confidential data of almost 100,000 pensioners was stolen from a member of personnel at Deloitte, an accounting firm.
The company is doing its best to find the laptop and has advised its staff to keep a watch on their electronic data storage items when in public.
Here we have a living example of data loss due to negligence. Though this data may be protected with passwords, a hacker could break into them and gain entry thereby misusing this information.
No one would want to learn things the hard way, by losing important data. To prevent loss of important data, you can have your company data backed up online. Now you can upload your valuable data online, instead of storing it on conventional storage devices like USB memory sticks, hard disks, CD’s or DVD’s which can be easily stolen.
Accidents are commonplace and data loss can also occur in the event of a mishap. Here, again online storage or online backup can come in handy as a great data recovery tool.
In online data backup, with the layers of security provided, it is impossible to break into this online vault.
In case of any unfortunate situation, all you need to do is download the stored data and get back to work as normal.
