BUSINESS surveillance backup and recovery. All of these scary scenarios, even the most advanced phishing attack known to man( or machine), could all end up with –‘ thank god I had trusted backup and recovery’.

As backup is your last line of defence; you must know you can rely on it. Again, the best practice hasn’ t changed here. You need multiple copies of your data, one offline and one off-site. You also need a well-rehearsed recovery strategy, including scanning backups for infection and setting up a recovery environment that is ready to rock.
It’ s less daunting than it seems. AI isn’ t changing the game – it’ s just a natural progression. Progression is the game’ s name in cybersecurity – you can’ t do everything, but you should do something. The basic principles still get you pretty far, so keep following those, keep up to date on best practices, and make sure you can trust your backup when all else fails.
