SMBs Unconcerned About Data Protection Just a couple of years ago an AT&T Survey showed that 24 percent of small business owners are unconcerned about computer and online data security, and that 10 percent took no action to protect their data. About a third of small businesses have an employee who have computer security as part of their job, and more than 90 percent perform some sort of data backups. Only half of those back up data every day, however. At the time of the survey only about 7 percent used Internet-based online backups.
At that time there were concerns about security and reliability of online backup. Today however "the cloud" is fast becoming a primary data backup strategy, especially with huge companies like Amazon entering the storage-as-a-service arena. More Than Just Backup Nowadays, data protection is more involved than just backups. Backups are absolutely necessary, but along with backups you need a backup and recovery plan for the backups to provide meaningful protection. There are other threats to data as well - loss of data due to theft, lost mobile devices and computers, and intruders is on the rise. Other threats to your data include Malware, viruses and spyware. Even Small Businesses nowadays need more than just backup. How about your small business? Is your valuable Data Protected?
