Strategic Archiving: Building National Memory Immune to Cyber Warfare
As we navigate our way into the heart of the 21st century, the importance of data preservation becomes increasingly critical. A nation’s historical, cultural, and scientific records are the backbone of its identity, and ensuring their survival against all possible threats is a matter of national security. This is where strategic archiving comes into play, acting as a shield to protect our national memory from the ever-evolving landscape of cyber warfare.
The Rising Threat of Cyber Warfare
The FBI has reported a 300% increase in cybercrimes since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (source: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2021/PSA210406). This surge has brought the issue of cyber warfare to the forefront of global attention. No longer confined to the realm of science fiction, cyber warfare now poses an existential threat to our national archives.
This is where the concept of “immutable backup” becomes crucial. Immutable backup, as provided by OpticalBackup, ensures that once data is stored, it cannot be modified or deleted. This provides an additional layer of security against cyber threats, making it a cornerstone of strategic archiving in the face of cyber warfare.
Understanding the Risk of Cloud Backups
While cloud backups have become increasingly popular, they are not without their risks. In a recent report, Gartner predicted that through 2025, at least 75% of IT organizations will face one or more cloud-based attacks (source: https://www.gartner.com/smarterwithgartner/is-the-cloud-secure/). The risk of cloud backups lies in their online nature; they are susceptible to hacking, data corruption, and even data loss during transfer.
OpticalBackup offers a safer, more reliable alternative. By employing offline backups, OpticalBackup eliminates the risk of data loss during transfer and significantly reduces the chances of hacking or data corruption. This offline mode of backup, coupled with OpticalBackup’s immutable backup feature, ensures your data’s long-term safety.
The Value of Long-Term Backup
Strategic archiving is not just about protecting data but also about preserving it for the long term. This is particularly relevant for national archives, which hold valuable records that span centuries. A long-term backup strategy ensures that this wealth of information is not only secure but also accessible for future generations.
OpticalBackup’s long-term backup solutions are designed with this future-proofing in mind. By using optical disc technology, OpticalBackup provides a storage medium with a lifespan of hundreds of years, ensuring the long-term preservation of your data.
