What is Cyber-Resilience? How are backups key?
Almost every organization relies on I.T. infrastructure to function – and that infrastructure can be damaged or sabotaged by:
- hacking, ransomware and other forms of cyber attack
- physical destruction – fire, flood, earthquake
- theft
- hardware failures
- user deletions – accidentally or intentionally.
“The right backup gives you a successful and predictable recovery.”
the ability to recover from an adverse event.

As a public services organization supported by tax dollars, we are extremely cognizant and cautious in how our budget is allocated. We didn’t have an ‘enterprise-sized’ budget to spend on ransomware protection. However, we would be negligent if we didn’t invest in protection against the type of malicious software that could block access to our computers and data, and therefore our city services, until a sum of money is paid. And, that sum can be large – too large for an organization like ours.
This is exactly the position some of my colleagues have found themselves in – it was ugly – and it wasn’t anything I wanted even the remotest possibility of having to deal with here. BackupAssist’s CryptoSafeGuard will deliver the extra layer of protection organizations need at an affordable price.
