'Acting Global, Thinking Local: Why Your Cloud Backup Strategy Needs To Start At Home'

If the 2020s have shown us anything, it’s that we live in a ferociously unpredictable world. After global pandemics and electoral earthquakes, deadly floods and apocalyptic wildfires, we’re all on some level preparing ourselves for the next shock to the system.

For businesses, disaster preparation has always been a must. But in today’s cloud-centric working environments, even the basics become much more difficult. Vendor-specific backup capabilities may help you get back on your feet in the aftermath of a ransomware attack, but the shared-responsibility model leaves many questions unanswered, and issues around data sovereignty and regulatory compliance become more acute and complicated.

The key to a successful and reliable cloud security strategy is strong data governance. That means being able to identify and classify the data you hold, to know where they are stored, and under what legal framework. To do this, you’re going to need a vendor-independent storage and backup solution, located on secure servers in the countries where you operate – insulating yourself not just against today’s realities, threats and legal requirements, but those that might apply after the next regional war breaks out, or the next surprise election result threatens to dismantle another set of long-held certainties.

Join a group of your fellow cybersecurity leaders, and senior staff from globally available, locally hosted cloud backup and recovery platform providers KeepIt, to discuss cloud backup, the importance of in-country data centres, and how thinking local as well as global will help keep you prepared for the whatever the world throws at you next.
