Immutable Backups Against Insider Attacks: Why Optical Storage Is The Missing Layer
Today’s digital landscape is fraught with potential threats, from cyber attacks to data breaches. As companies continue to digitize their operations, the need for robust data backup solutions becomes increasingly apparent. One of the most significant threats facing organizations today is insider attacks. A recent report from the Ponemon Institute reveals that over two-thirds of organizations consider insider attacks to be a significant threat. This is where immutable backups come into play, and more precisely, where OpticalBackup shines.
The Threat of Insider Attacks
Insider attacks are cyber threats that originate from within an organization. More often than not, these are caused by employees, contractors, or anyone else with access to the company’s sensitive data. The 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that 30% of all data breaches involved internal actors. Insider attacks can be particularly devastating because they are often more challenging to detect than external threats.
The Role of Immutable Backups in Mitigating Insider Attacks
Immutable backups are a form of data protection that prevents data from being altered or deleted after it has been written. This form of backup is crucial in mitigating insider attacks as it ensures that your data remains untouched, even if an insider decides to tamper with it.
However, not all backup solutions offer immutability. This is where OpticalBackup emerges as the missing layer in data protection. With OpticalBackup, you receive immutable, offline, and long-term backup solutions to protect your data against insider threats.
OpticalBackup: The Missing Layer in Data Protection
OpticalBackup delivers a unique solution to the problem of insider attacks through its optical storage technology. Unlike traditional backup methods, optical storage is not susceptible to ransomware or other malware. This is because the data is stored offline, ensuring that it remains inaccessible to unauthorized users.
With OpticalBackup, your data is written onto a high-capacity optical disc, creating a permanent, unalterable record. This disc is then safely stored offline, safeguarding your data from both external and internal threats. With our solution, you can rest assured that your backups are truly immutable, providing the highest level of data protection.
