Do you know that when attackers try to exploit your data, one of the most convenient approaches for them is to transfer data via USB and other peripheral devices, because those methods often don’t leave a trace?

This attack is most often carried out by malicious insiders, employees from your own organization with malicious intent.

ManageEngine Device Control Plus is a comprehensive DLP solution that prevents data loss via removable devices. It is capable of controlling access privileges for devices connected to your network, blocking any unauthorized devices from gaining entry, and monitoring all device and file use activities.

How do you prevent them?

Many organizations today use different devices for regular business processes, and keeping tabs on all these devices can be a challenge. Between tracking the devices plugged into desktops, files transferred via USB, and the various peripheral devices used by employees for day-to-day business operations, it can be difficult to see who is using which devices and where your data is going.

ManageEngine Device Control Plus helps you spot and remediate hacking attempts through instant alerts and meticulous reports and audits, eliminating the risk of insider threats, DMA attacks, or any file-based attacks.

Benefits of ManageEngine Device Control Plus

• Control, block and monitor the actions of all USB and peripheral devices.

• Authorize only the devices that you trust, and prevent the entry of malicious devices.

• Implement role-based access control to prevent unauthorized access to your files.

• Prevent unnecessary movement of data via USB and peripheral devices.

• Grant temporary access to removable devices to prevent excessive access privileges.

• Monitor hacking attempts and study device and user behavior patterns

Complete visibility into your endpoints is essential to protect your data. If you can’t see your endpoints or what your employees are doing with your data, you can’t protect it. ManageEngine Device Control Plus is the all-in-one DLP solution you need that combines both device and data security to avoid data loss.

If you don’t test your backups for recoverability, you really don’t have backups at all.

This statement is not intended to be controversial, or even confrontational. Instead, we’re using it to point out a common misconception. Today, many IT professionals may believe that standard data backup processes are protecting them from the effects of ransomware and other cyberattacks, but they’re missing a critical step: verifying that their backup works correctly if or when it is needed.

Data backup involves creating copies of important data and storing them in secure locations. To ensure comprehensive protection, backups should regularly be performed — ideally in real-time or at frequent intervals — using both on-site and off-site storage options. On-site backups offer quick accessibility for immediate recovery, while off-site backups provide added security against physical threats, such as fires or natural disasters.

Here are 7 Best Practices for Data Backup and Recovery

• Keep Backups Encrypted and Protected: In addition to the security of backup locations (i.e., cloud, physical), encrypting the files provides additional data protection.

• Make Backups Frequently and Regularly: Data backups should regularly be performed, although the frequency may not be the same for all data.

• Perform Regular Tests of Backups and Recovery: Data backup tests should be performed periodically—at least on an annual or semi-annual basis. Depending on the organization’s size and assets, data backup testing could be more frequent.

• Consider Retention Span: For data governance and storage expenses, retention times should be established for data backups, likewise, retention schedules should map your backup schedules.

• Document Policies and Procedures: Backup policies should be clearly documented. These should cover an explanation of goals and strategies, specifics about what tools and processes are used, roles and responsibilities, backup timing, and retention schedules.

• Use a 3-2-1 Data Backup Strategy: Add extra layers of redundancy for data backups by using a 3-2-1 data backup strategy. This ensures that multiple copies of data are backed up and retained. The 3-2-1 strategy includes

– Three
Keep three copies of data, the original data copy, and at least two backups.

– Two
Use two different storage types. For instance, if data is stored on an internal hard drive, use a secondary device such as an external drive or cloud source.

– One
Keep one copy of data offsite.

• Use Remote Storage: A critical factor in your backup solution is setting up remote backups. The idea is to have backups offsite, but, at a minimum, they should be on a separate system. Data backup can be conducted in the cloud or on a dedicated physical server.

 A better approach to Data Backup.

To protect business-critical data, backup is not enough — you need the integrated approach of cyber protection. The Advanced Backup pack for Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud enables you to extend the cloud backup capabilities you need require to proactively protect your data. Acronis leverages a unique approach by combining cloud backup with cyber protection features to keep your data truly secure.
