Study Notes
Cybersecurity Threats and Offline Storage
- Rising cybercrime and cybersecurity threats prompt increased data protection measures, especially for online businesses.
- Online data is vulnerable to human error, software weaknesses, and quickly evolving viruses, making 100% safety impossible.
- Regular data backups, ideally stored offline, are crucial for protection.
Offline Storage Advantages
- Offline storage is nearly impossible to hack, easier to update, and easier to manage access controls.
- Easy to see if any issues or accesses happen.
Offline Storage Disadvantages
- Increased vulnerability to natural disasters (e.g., floods, power surges).
- Higher risk of theft compared to dedicated, secured server rooms.
- Data backups require separate copies for recovery and problem-solving.
Offline Backup Advantages
- Significantly reduced vulnerability to cybersecurity threats compared to online storage.
- Physical copies are easier to manage and access.
- Critical for catastrophic network failure recovery and system updates.
Offline Storage Monitoring and Recovery
- Offline data, on physical devices like USB drives or hard drives, is easier to track and manage.
- Offline storage is immune to data deletion risks present with cloud-based platforms, ensuring complete data loss prevention.
- Quick recovery is possible when using an offline data backup in a disaster or system failure scenario.
Ownership of Data with Offline Storage
- Offline storage gives complete data control, unlike cloud storage where a third party has access to the data..
- Offline data is easier to keep confidential.
- IT companies can assist in setting up and maintaining robust offline backup systems.
