Are your backups<\/a> in place, and are they regularly being tested? Failure to test backups is a common occurrence in companies where the IT team is simply too busy with other projects to do this regularly, or where you have a third party looking after your backups, and they have not been reporting that they have completed testing \u2013 possibly because they haven\u2019t done any. An IT audit or review will highlight an issue with your backups, if there are any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s the old story here; no one thinks about the backups until that time when they are critically needed, and they haven\u2019t been tested, and they aren\u2019t working. This has happened before to many organisations, and it will happen again. Please don\u2019t let it be you the next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result of the IT Security and Phish workshop that Icon IT completed with my team, Another reoccurring problem is that a new server gets added, but no one adds it to the backup regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a huge business risk, and unfortunately one that happens all too frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
