Data Protection

In today’s information economy, electronic data is almost certainly your company’s most valuable commodity. You must assume one of the cyber-threats listed previously, at some point, will bring down your network and destroy this data. Company management is responsible for insuring the continued operation of the company by having at least one complete and current backup of the company’s data.

• An ideal system should protect your data transparently and allow you to retrieve your files quickly and easily, whether you are rebuilding an entire file server or just finding a critical file that was accidentally deleted.
  
• Data backup options include Tape Backup Units, on-line Network Accessible Storage (NAS) devices, Storage Area Network (SAN) drives, and Data Vaulting over the Internet.
   

• Encrypting data is especially important for wireless networks. WiFi Protected Access (WPA) and 802.11i, which was released last year, offer dynamic security: They assign each user a different key that is encrypted and constantly changing.
