It&#8217;s a lot. Since you work in IT, you&#8217;re probably aware of this already&nbsp;since you&#8217;re the one backing it all up, but putting figures to the sheer numbers across all industries&nbsp;(even ballpark ones, because there are a lot of variables here) really brings it into a stark perspective. It also shines a blindingly bright light on the unavoidable importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/backupassist.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data backup<\/a>, and of data security. But we&#8217;ll get into all that.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s stop beating around the bush and take a look at just how much data&nbsp;businesses generate each day.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">How much data&nbsp;do you generate?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5863\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/analytics-925379_640.jpg\" alt=\"data backup - how much do you generate?\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/analytics-925379_640.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/analytics-925379_640-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Now, first things first let&#8217;s get the obvious out of the way. There are endless variables that will affect this question. The industry you work in, what your role entails, how large your company is &#8211; variables galore.&nbsp;What we&#8217;re dealing in is ballpark figures, but these are startling nonetheless when thinking about the sheer amount of word docs, databases, spreadsheets, power-points and endless work-related data your IT department needs to protect on a daily basis. While the term &#8216;big data&#8217; generally refers to the mind-boggling amounts of data we all create as consumers, Googlers and social media users, business-specific data is pretty darned big too.<\/p>\n<p>Database population alone is a huge &nbsp;figure. According to the International Data Corporation, by 2020 there will be <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.teradata.com\/international\/how-much-data-we-create-daily\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">450 billion business transactions per day<\/a> (both B2B and B2C), and while a sizable&nbsp;chunk of those transactions are processed by&nbsp;and stored within data centers by big-data giants such as Amazon, Google, and others, a vast number are still being processed by more modest companies like yours on small-scale&nbsp;database servers.<\/p>\n<p>Emails are no slouch either &#8211; by the end of 2017, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.business2community.com\/big-data\/15-business-stats-starting-2015-strong-01112323#CdVoM3RPly95BO6A.97\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business email will account<\/a> for over 132 billion emails sent and received per day. Again, even taking out hosted business email like Office 365, that still leaves a very large number hitting the Exchange Servers of businesses like yours every single&nbsp;day.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, data is growing &#8211; exponentially. <a href=\"http:\/\/www-01.ibm.com\/software\/data\/bigdata\/what-is-big-data.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to IBM<\/a>, 90% of the data currently existing in the business world (2.5 quintillion bytes per day across the globe) was created in just the last 2 years, and that rate of growth shows no sign as slowing. So as you&#8217;ve no doubt already figured out, data isn&#8217;t going anywhere. And as a result neither is data backup.<\/p>\n<p>But what are the other implications of all this data? What stories could it tell about your business, and what damage could it do if those stories fell into nefarious&nbsp;hands? What if that data were lost?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and quickly before we move on from data stats, just as an interesting aside, the human brain can store a total sum of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/marciaconner.com\/blog\/data-on-big-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">approximately 1.5 TB of data<\/a>&#8230; that&#8217;s less than most high-end hard drives. Really puts the sheer amounts of data we deal with into perspective, doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\">Is all&nbsp;that data as secure as it needs to be?<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5862\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/binary-823336_640.jpg\" alt=\"data backup - what could your data say about you?\" width=\"450\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/binary-823336_640.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/01\/binary-823336_640-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">You know all that data your users are generating? It says things. It speaks volumes both about them and about your business. And it can be exploited.<\/p>\n<p>When data falls into the wrong hands, whether that&#8217;s by hacking, corporate espionage or good ol&#8217; fashioned physical theft, there are serious implications for your business. We covered that in some depth a few months ago when we talked about the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/blog\/news\/encrypting-backups-why-its-more-important-than-ever\/\">importance of encrypting backups<\/a>, but it&#8217;s worth reiterating here. Now that you have a good idea of just how much data the people in your office are generating, it really hits home just how important a job securing that data really is.<\/p>\n<p>According to Thales eSecurity,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thales-esecurity.com\/knowledge-base\/infographics\/global-encryption-trends-infographic\">in 2015 only a minority of 34% of businesses reported that they use encryption &#8216;extensively&#8217;<\/a>&nbsp;to secure their data. While this is a shockingly low percentage, it&#8217;s still a step in the right direction, as in 2005 a similar survey reported that only &nbsp;16% of businesses were in this category. The industries with the fastest growth of encryption uptake&nbsp;are perhaps unsurprisingly those that have regulatory requirements such as HIPAA for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. But why hasn&#8217;t adoption of encryption been as commonplace in industries without that added imperative?<\/p>\n<p>Well, part of the problem could be a perception among businesses that encryption is difficult or costly to implement across the entirety of a business. In the same study linked to above, Thales found that 56% of businesses rated implementing encryption as 7 or higher on a pain-scale of 10.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s true that rolling out comprehensive encryption standards across the entirety of a business&#8217;s IT environment is no small task, it&#8217;s far from insurmountable and the benefits of data security will in most instances distinctly&nbsp;outweigh the difficulties. Furthermore, as we&#8217;ve discussed before, one place that&#8217;s relatively easy to start and will make a big difference is encrypting company backups. &nbsp;A backup (and particularly an image backup) represents the entirety of your company&#8217;s data in one location. &nbsp;This makes it a prime target for thieves of both the conventional and digital varieties.<\/p>\n<p>With BackupAssist,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/education\/v8\/resources\/bitlocker-encryption.html\">encrypting backups<\/a>&nbsp;is as simple as ticking a box. Depending on your OS and the device you&#8217;re encrypting,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/blog\/guides\/bitlocker-encryption-times-security-worth-wait\/\">encryption can often take some time<\/a>&nbsp;and needs to be planned out, but the results are thoroughly worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>While the data your company generates may be valuable to third parties, it should probably go without saying that it&#8217;s even more valuable to your own organization. The more data grows in volume each year, and the more businesses grow to depend upon that data, the more important surefire&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.backupassist.com\/\">server backups<\/a>&nbsp;become.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Does your business do enough to protect and secure data?<br \/>\n<\/em><em>Leave your thoughts below, tweet <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BackupAssist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@BackupAssist<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/BackupAssist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">post to facebook<\/a>.<br \/>\nShare this article, because data is big.
