How to secure your mission critical assets for business continuity
When your infrastructure is the backbone of your business, security isn’t just important - it’s mission critical. In this episode, our cyber security expert, Scott Harrison, explores the seventh layer of cyber security - the mission critical asset security layer.
Discover how you can protect their most essential systems from evolving cyber threats. But also, if you do become victim to an attack, how you can make sure you’re back up-and-running instantly with very little fallout. Understand the different types of backups you can implement, and why disaster recovery and planning are important. Hear real-world examples of the consequences of not having backup (and the benefits of having it in place).
