    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.
