Backing up your data regularly is an overlooked step in personal online security. The top IT and security managers follow a simple rule called the 3-2-1 backup rule. Essentially, you will keep three copies of your data on two diverse types of media (local and external hard drive) and one copy in an off-site location (cloud storage). 

If you become a victim of ransomware or malware, the only way to restore your data is to erase your systems and restore with a recently performed backup. 

We here at GRIT partner with Datto, who specializes in cybersecurity and disaster recovery. Their solutions allow us to quickly get our clients back up and running in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
