Beware of the Bear

You’re cautious. You engage in proper internet security protocols and if anything over the years you’ve learned, its Cover your DRaaS.


Your clients' safety and security rest in your hands as an MSP but yet…you STILL rely on traditional security and backup providers. Relying on a traditional service provider and data backup provider is like playing Russian roulette with your client’s sensitive information. The internet has grown to be a giant forest full of wonder and information, but be careful – There might just be a Bear in there.

That Beast is lurking in the background – out of sight and out of mind.

It might rear its head as a Trojan or as a ransomware package but nonetheless. It’s out there and it’s hungry…hungry for your client’s data AND their wallets. That Bear might be a random lone attacker or it could even be a State sponsored attack but regardless, that Bear is on the hunt and he has his eye on you.

You’ll most likely never see it coming. That Bear will wait for your guard to drop and when it does; it will cost you and your clients dearly. How much exactly? It’s still hard to lay down exact figures since some entities don’t report cyber-attacks due to losing client confidence etc, but; according to experts who track the havoc that ransomware and cyber-attacks create estimate that by 2019 over $11 Billion Dollars’ worth of damage globally will occur.

Say it with me now: Eleven. Billion. Dollars.

Will one of your clients be a part of that forecast? Will one or more of your clients be paying a ransom to protect their data…the very data that you are responsible for?

Why take the chance with traditional service providers and data backup providers when you can have world class coverage right in your own backyard? Sure, the options are endless when it comes to cheap, budget low cost “solutions” but what are you really getting and who are you really getting it from? Even worse, who has backdoor access to all of your client’s sensitive data? Remember the Bear? He’s sniffed you out and he is watching and he is waiting.

That Bear is patient. Quietly stalking you and your clients, waiting for you to drop your guard and miss a security protocol.

But make no mistake — it will strike, and it will strike hard.

It used to be a question of if – Now, it’s a question of when. Ransomware is still a credible threat with many versions continuing to morph and evolve. Will you trust your data and sensitive information to a hungry Bear? Will you take the Bear head on and alone or even worse rely on a Service Provider that has registered servers in one country but is really in another? If the industry had a Magic 8-Ball the answer would be “outlook not so good”.

When Data is Compromised, it Could Mean a Significant Financial Loss... And It Definitely Means a Loss of Trust.

In the past, all you needed to have in place was an in-house or cloud based Data Backup system. But, these days you need more. As an IT Pro, you’re tasked with keeping data safe regardless of what happens. That’s why in today’s business landscape, you need to implement a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) – one that works hand in hand with ANY Hypervisor ready Backup plan you have in place.

Having a Backup and Disaster Recovery plan (BDR) is a wise choice to secure your client's or employer’s valuable data. At Storage Guardian, we make it easy to completely handle multiple clients experiencing loss of data who orchestrated a recovery at the same time ̶ All thanks to our fully automated service.
