Backups and Security

At some point in time, you are going to need to recover some data.  Do you have a backup?  Does your IT perform routine backups AND test to make sure they can RESTORE the data?  Keeping backups in a safe place is not good enough.  You need to make sure that ONLY those authorized to access the data and restore it – can do so.  By encrypting your backup data, you take an extra step in protecting your valuable data from bad actors.
