Comprehensive Security With CodeBlue

Every organisation must have a comprehensive IT security strategy to protect their data and IT infrastructure, and CodeBlue recognises this need and offers a fully managed Cyber Security Service to their customers. Disasters affecting IT systems and data pose a significant threat to every organisation, and a system crash, power outage, cyber-attack, natural disaster or user error can have far reaching consequences, especially for SMEs.

While businesses can’t always prevent disasters from occurring, they can stem the damage caused, and disaster recovery technology, enabling instant recovery of data, applications and systems, along with regular testing, is the surest way to safeguard your business. The first step to disaster planning is to conduct a risk assessment to determine potential threats. Businesses should then implement a management system and a customised data backup and recovery solution to minimise damage, and CodeBlue have developed a customised disaster recovery solution based on your organisation’s needs as part of their managed IT support service.

Common IT threats affecting SMEs include hardware failure, where an unforeseen event can trigger a widespread power ouotage which can result in downtime and potential data loss, and software failure. A lack of regular patch testing often leads to the corruption of applications, potentially bringing down entire systems. Other sources of software failure include old operating systems, viruses and malware.

Disasters such as earthquakes, fires and weather related incidents account for a relatively small number of IT disasters. When they do occur however, the impact can be devastating, resulting in major infrastructural damage and data loss, therefore it’s imperative to ensure business continuity and minimise the cost of long downtimes. Cloud backup leverages virtualisation to make data backup and recovery quicker and more convenient, but cloud-based systems are still prone to failure, making a multi-cloud approach a more secure option for disaster prevention and data recovery.

You can protect your organisation’s data from disaster with CodeBlue’s comprehensive data backup and recovery services, and you can contact CodeBlue today to discuss how they can develop the best data backup and recovery solution for your SME.
