You don't determine the RTO—the business unit does. It's based on finances: How much money will we lose while down? Or, for government, how much reputational damage? #RTO #BackupAdmin #SysAdmin #RecoveryTime #BusinessContinuity
Chaos engineering: Intentionally break things to find hidden weaknesses. Forget to back up Active Directory? Lose everything. Discover dependencies and foresee failures before disaster strikes. #ChaosEngineering #ActiveDirectory #DataBackup #DisasterRecovery
Most companies discover backup flaws the hard way—during actual outages. Only 10% report zero downtime. Test restores proactively to avoid data disasters. What's your RTO strategy? #DataBackup #DisasterRecovery #RTO #ITOutage #DataSecurity
Quantify downtime. Financial firms know: One hour of outage = massive losses. Equip yourself—backup/DR improvements need numbers to justify the investment. #DowntimeCosts #FinancialTrading #BackupAndDR #SystemRecovery
A new backup system isn't enough. Learn why testing your restores is crucial—especially realistic scenarios. Don't wait until disaster strikes to discover critical flaws. Recovery Time Actual matters! #BackupSystem #DataRecovery #RestoreTest #RTO #TechFails
Attach a real number to downtime. If you can say, 'One hour of downtime costs us this much,' you're more equipped as a backup and DR person to make enhancements to the system. #DowntimeCosts #BackupAndDR #DataRecovery #ITManagement
When ransomware hits, negotiation feels inevitable. But is paying the ransom ever the right move? This video explores the harsh realities and critical importance of cyber insurance policies. #Ransomware #CyberSecurity #CyberInsurance #DataBreach
Recurring themes in the book are the tasks you need to do in advance. They're doable with time, effort, and concern, but they will cost you something. #EasyTasks #AdvancePrep #TimeManagement #Effort #Concern
Dwayne LaFlotte revealed a hacker's secret: a good backup system is a prime target. Protect yourself! Red team your backup infrastructure to expose vulnerabilities before attackers do. #BackupSystem #RedTeaming #CyberSecurity #DataProtection
Understand cybersecurity's Blue and Red Teams! Red Teams simulate attacks to find vulnerabilities. Blue Teams defend and fix them before real threats strike. It's like a movie plot, but for your network! #Cybersecurity #RedTeam #BlueTeam #InfoSec
Just got the QC1 copy of 'Learning Ransomware Response and Recovery' with Dr. Mike Saylor! Check out the Backup Wrap-Up podcast for more. #Ransomware #DataRecovery #Cybersecurity #MikeSaylor
Data recovery is just one piece of the ransomware puzzle. True protection means knowing exactly *how* to restore your systems, not just getting your files back. #RansomwareRecovery #DataProtection #CyberSecurity #DataRestoration
Meet the Incident Response Team and explore the complexities of ransomware negotiations. It's a high-stakes game where compromise might be the only way out. #IncidentResponse #Ransomware #CyberSecurity #DataBreach
Discover the critical importance of immutable backups and continuous system hardening. Learn how they ensure data restoration and fortify your system against relentless cyber threats. Secure your future now. #ImmutableBackups #DataRestoration #SystemHardening #CyberSecurity
W. Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malayandi kick things off with a warm welcome and some friendly banter. Get ready for insights and expertise! #Welcome #Introductions #Banter #Viewers
Implementing a robust backup security system requires careful consideration of essential components. Learn what you need to ensure data protection and system resilience. #BackupSecurity #DataProtection #SystemResilience #Cybersecurity
Backing up infected systems? It'll just reinfect. Reimaging from a golden copy and restoring data separately offers a stronger, cleaner solution. #DataBackup #SystemReimaging #Cybersecurity #DataRecovery
Your DR system *should* be the easiest part of ransomware recovery. Days to months to isolate what to restore. Push a button to bring it back online. 🚀 #DRSystem #Ransomware #DataRecovery #Backup
Cyber insurance is evolving. It's not just about paying ransoms anymore. Companies are now your blue team, helping you build defenses and stay resilient against ransomware attacks. They also fund the incident response team. #CyberInsurance #Ransomware #Cybersecurity #IncidentResponse
Don't need to implement everything day one. Start the journey, and you'll eventually get there. You will be much better than where you are today. #Journey #Better #Podcast
From modern password management to disabling RDP, learn key steps to harden your backup system. Explore MFA, passkeys & role-based access controls for optimal data protection. #PasswordManagement #MFA #RDP #DataProtection #CyberSecurity
Cloud-based backup systems shine with automated disaster recovery. Push-button failover lets you pick your recovery point and quickly restore functionality when you need it most. #CloudBackup #DisasterRecovery #DataProtection #BackupSolutions
Tabletop exercises: a fun way to prep for cyberattacks. Sit around a table, define a scenario, and plan your response. It's about creating a culture of recovery and keeping cybersecurity top of mind. #TabletopExercise #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #MSSP
Don't rely on theory alone. Advanced cybersecurity demands real-world ransomware recovery testing in a safe, isolated environment. Prepare to defend against tomorrow's threats, today. #RansomwareRecovery #CybersecurityTesting #DataProtection #IncidentResponse
