Could AI help secure your backup system? Claude & ChatGPT are powerful tools. Maybe they can give you advice, but always verify the info! Interesting idea about backup infrastructure security. #AIsecurity #BackupTips

It's time to bring in a blue team to go through your security checklist. A backup expert can identify vulnerabilities others miss. Regular check-ins with an MSSP are key for ongoing security. #BackupSecurity #MSSP

Ransomware hit got you worried about costs? Cyber insurance can help, but it's evolved. Years ago, it just paid ransoms. Now, it's about real protection & recovery. #CyberSecurity #CyberInsurance

Want to test your immutable backup system? Hire a red team! They'll find the flaws *before* the bad guys do. Backups are a favorite target. Listen to Dwayne LaFlotte's red team episode! #RedTeam #Cybersecurity

The 3-2-1 backup rule is table stakes. If you're not conforming, you don't actually have backups. Scheduling, managing, and monitoring are basic, everyday necessities. #BackupStrategy #DataProtection

The weakest link in any backup system isn't software or hardware—it's us. No backup system is perfect, but the human element is almost always the biggest vulnerability. #BackupTips #Cybersecurity

Typing usernames and passwords is a bad way to authenticate. Password managers are better, but what about Active Directory and Entra ID? Where do they fit in? #ActiveDirectory #PasswordManager

Recap: The 3-2-1-1-0 rule, automated backups, recovery testing, defined RTO/RPO, isolating the backup system, backing up SaaS data, documentation, retention policies, monitoring, and endpoint protection. #BackupStrategy #DataProtection

Logging in with just a local username and password? Big problem. The primary solution: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). It's not just 2FA anymore! #MFA #CyberSecurity

Usernames and passwords—the old way. Passwords get stolen, never rotated, and are often too easy to guess. Is password management a headache for you? #PasswordSecurity #Cybersecurity

Local username/password combos? Risky! MFA adds a layer of security: something you know + something you have. SMS is better than nothing, but aim for app- or token-based MFA. #MFA #Cybersecurity

Harden your backups: consider a dedicated service provider (like an MSSP) or SaaS-based data protection. Vet them thoroughly: penetration testing, immutability, passkey auth, etc. #DataProtection #CyberSecurity

Role-based administration means giving specific permissions. Someone might run backups but not configure them, or do restores but not backups. For critical actions, require 4-eyes authentication for added security. #DataSecurity #Permissions

MFA isn't just for users. Use it for critical backup config changes. A rogue admin could reduce backups to once a week or a single copy. Protect your data! #DataProtection #CyberSecurity

RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) ensures you're not assigning individual users access. Grant access based on groups, limiting it to only what they need. Giving too much power to junior staff can be a data destruction risk. #RBAC #DataSecurity

MFA is better than SMS for security, but it's not perfect. MFA fatigue can lead to accidentally authorizing malicious requests. It happened with the Okta hack. #MFA #Security

MFA has tiers of security. SMS-based authentication has vulnerabilities. Learn the tiers and stay secure. #MFA #CyberSecurity

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a major security risk. It's enabled by default, has unpatched flaws, & allows full system access. Disable RDP and use more secure remote management methods. #RDP #CyberSecurity

Conventional backup systems have severe security risks. Enhanced authentication and password management are vital to prevent data breaches. Don't leave your data vulnerable! #DataSecurity #Cybersecurity

Ransomware's #1 target? Your data. Jaguar Land Rover & Asahi Brewing Co. are STILL recovering from attacks. Backup tapes (or disks!) are your best defense. Are you protected? #DataProtection #Ransomware
