Post Impressions:  

1). DATA RECOVERY: Protecting Your Business Against Unexpected Losses & Effective Mitigation Data loss can happen for a multitude of reasons—whether it’s the result of malicious ransomware, hardware failures, or even natural disasters. And it always seems to occur at the most inconvenient times. Regardless of the cause, having a robust data recovery plan in place is essential for minimizing the impact. The first step in any plan is to prioritize and secure your data while it’s being stored, ensuring that it can be easily recovered when the unexpected happens and ensuring the services of a proficient Data recovery Partner. As long as your device hasn’t been stolen, your data should be recoverable with the right strategy in place. R3 Data Recovery Ltd is one of the UK’s leading specialists in this area, offering advanced data recovery services and solutions for even the most complex data loss scenarios—such as the so-called “unrecoverable” drives.

2). MANAGED SERVICE PROVIDERS: The majority of UK businesses are keen to outsource cybersecurity operations. A recent survey conducted by Logpoint indicates that 80% of UK businesses are expected to outsource their Cybersecurity operations within the next two years. The study, which polled 1,762 executives, revealed that 28% of respondents anticipate their IT security teams will be managed by a third party. This figure builds on the existing 52% of UK businesses that already outsource this function. In contrast, the inclination to outsource cybersecurity operations are less pronounced in France and Germany. Currently, only 24% of French firms and 27% of German companies—where a significant majority maintain in-house Cybersecurity teams—plan to outsource within the same timeframe.

3). WHAT IS RANSOMWARE & Is Your SME Vulnerable to Ransomware Attacks? – CyberKPI: Ransomware uses encryption to hold a victim’s information at a ransom, rendering it inaccessible until the attacker receives a payment. The malware used by the attackers now employ double-extortion and triple-extortion tactics. For instance, Cybercriminals not only encrypt the victim’s data but also steal it, threatening to leak it if the ransom is not paid.
