Reducing cybersecurity risk and ensuring data availability through secure backup is a priority to any organisation. NIST have defined a Security framework which guides customers in the following of five pillars:
- Identify – Develop an organizational understanding to manage cybersecurity risk to systems, people, assets, data, and capabilities.
- Protect – Develop and implement appropriate safeguards to ensure delivery of critical services.
- Detect – Develop and implement appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event.
- Respond – Develop and implement appropriate activities to take action regarding a detected cybersecurity incident.
- Recover – Develop and implement appropriate activities to maintain plans for resilience and to restore any capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity incident.
This end-to-end framework consists of feature sets, guidelines, and best practices. Providing your organisation with the best recovery capabilities is the ultimate goal.
