When you go to such great lengths to protect your business’ network, it can come as quite a shock when you experience a data breach. Surely someone has to be at blame for such an event, right? Unfortunately, this mindset is often one that can come as a detriment to businesses, especially in today’s age of cybersecurity threats and ransomware. It can divide teams and cause rifts that are hard to recover from.

Tomorrow, March 31st, is the official World Backup Day, a day intended to remind us all of the importance of taking backups for the sake of data continuity. While this kind of day can be a valuable reminder of a critical best practice, we contend that your awareness of your backup (and the associated maintenance of it) should not be limited to a single day.

Passwords have been a primary data security measure since 1960, when MIT researcher Fernando Corbató suggested the practice—although even he is reportedly slow to take full credit. Why?
