CBS IT Systems provides you with Storage Systems – Backup for the security of your data.

The backup system has always played a leading role in the smooth & uninterrupted operation of every corporate environment. Through this system, an organization protects its data, taking backup copies of them & protecting them, on secure storage media. These copies should be available when needed, to restore any problem that occurs in the corporate IT infrastructure. The system should provide flexibility for rapid recovery of small problems, such as loss or destruction of individual items (files, emails, etc.), but also the ability to reliably cope with larger events, which require the installation of part or all of a company’s infrastructure from scratch.

The system should be able to reliably receive backup copies from the infrastructure, but also be able to restore data to the production infrastructure from backup copies if required. It must also provide detailed information regarding the smooth execution or not of the scheduled backup jobs, the errors or warnings that occurred during the download process, so that the relevant executives involved in the security of the organization’s data are automatically informed in a structured manner.

The system should also be able to support the increased data protection needs of an organization, such as replication of data to other corporate sites or cloud providers, achieving even higher protection, covering the requirements of even the most demanding environments.

The implementation of the following rules & best practices for the security & protection of organizational data is recommended:

​

• Security data storage security policies:

Not all data has the same degree of criticality for the organization, nor does it all change at the same rate over time. The Backup Policy should reflect all these specificities of an organization, which the system should be able to implement in their entirety, providing the appropriate level of protection for all the organization’s data.

• Encryption:

The organization’s backups should be encrypted both during transport and while they are in the system’s backup storage systems. In the case of using tape systems, the need to encrypt the backups is considered imperative. There are solutions available in this area in the IT market.

• Backup & recovery:

Taking backups is essential as it allows the protection of the organization’s data & applications in a structured manner. Backups are taken in accordance with the organization’s policy & the criticality of the data they protect. There are a variety of backup-restore solutions depending on the size & complexity of the corporate environment. Depending on the needs of the organization, you choose either backup to tape or to disk or some combination of these. Sometimes the needs require the Backup system to replicate/transfer (either via tape out) the backup data to another site for greater protection of the organization’s data. In these cases, it is imperative to protect the specific data with the encryption method as the risk of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands is increased.

• Checking for proper operation:

The backup system should be checked at regular intervals to confirm its proper functioning. In this way, the organization is assured that when data is required to be restored from a backup copy, it will be in good condition & through a specific process, the required information can be recovered.
