GDPR! Its not only for the IT department. Article by Our Partner Global Knowledge

GDPR! Its not only for the IT department. Article by Our Partner Global Knowledge

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has come into effect since 25 May 2018. This new European data protection legislation has major consequences for companies that store and process European consumer data and goes further than the current EU Directive.

The comprehensive legislation centers around the rights of the individual. Under this new law, people will be able to gain more insight into and exercise more control over their data, even after they've authorised you to store and process their information. Any organisation holding or handling European citizens' or EU Residents' personal information will have to comply with this new law. And beware, in this context IP addresses are considered personal information, which means that essentially everyone will be affected by this legislation, and those found to be in breach of it risk fines of up to twenty million euros or four per cent of their global turnover, whichever happens to be highest.

Keep Your companys crown jewels safe and secure from ransomware: Building cloud-based backup and DR into ransomware defence

Keep Your companys crown jewels safe and secure from ransomware: Building cloud-based backup and DR into ransomware defence

By Amy Hawthorne

 

It’s a sad fact of life that whenever someone owns anything of value, there’s someone else out there who wants to get their hands on it illegally. Today’s corporate crown jewels are the critical data on which organisations depend and the highwaymen are cybercriminals, who have built a lucrative industry from ransomware attacks that disrupt businesses, steal data and aim to extract payment from their victims.

Tackling this scourge is a critical challenge for IT managers on several levels, but when it comes to the crunch, putting solid cloud backup and disaster recovery (DR) plans in place can help businesses keep hold of the aces and hang on to their crown jewels.
