Virtually Air Gapped: Assessing Cloud Data Protection

What does "air gap" really mean when it comes to backups? Curtis takes us back to the early days of offsite tape backups with Iron Mountain to explore the principles behind physical air gaps. We learn about barcode tracking, unmarked vans, and multi-factor delete authorization. How do modern "virtual air gaps" in the cloud compare? Are backup vendors misusing important security terms? Join us as we separate marketing hype from real backup protection and learn timeless lessons around alerting, access controls, and immutable data. After this episode, you'll know how to assess if your backups are following air gap principles - no matter what technology you use.
