I keep reading about all these ransomware attacks where victims paid, because they didn't have backups.
Here's a thought:
Run regular backups.
It's not hard, nor is it expensive. Certainly cheaper that paying crypto ransom.
Automated nightly backups to local and/or off-site storage can be handled by any number of easy-to-run utilities.
Run monthly backups to optical media. Quality discs are reliable for decades. You can't say that about hard drives or tape.
@voltronic we have daily backups on site, and weekly backups with a copy on site and a copy off-site. Had a user click an unknown email attachment 🤦one time. I locked down the network, got employees back to work in 15 minutes though individually isolated, and restored the server in about 3 hours. Though I did spend the rest of the day sanitizing systems and super paranoid I missed something.
