The information your company uses in its daily business operations is worth a lot of money . Therefore, you can't be too careful when it comes to the integrity and security of this information. If you're not yet in the cloud , your company's files are at risk and you're losing money. Want to know why? Then keep reading this article.
The cloud is the best way to store your data
It is very common for companies to still use physical media to store their information. That is, hard drives, pen drives, memory cards, DVDs, and CDs. These media are quite vulnerable and dangerous for any company, for two main reasons:
- They are physical and therefore easy to lose, damage or disorganize;
- They can corrupt themselves even if the user follows all the manufacturer's safety recommendations
Imagine how catastrophic it would be to lose your customer information , your company's data, or your financial information. The loss is certain and sometimes irreversible: at least 72% of companies that lose data end up closing their doors within 24 months.
And this loss is more common than you might think: almost half (46%) of all physical media users have experienced some data loss caused by a variety of reasons.
More than a third of the lost information has some potential for financial loss , such as customer and sales records, tax data, or company banking information. This is the type of information your company cannot afford to risk losing.
Furthermore, it's not just the fragility of physical media that puts your company's money at risk. There are numerous scammers and other cybercriminals always ready to attack your company with a destructive virus, intrusive malware, or ransomware that hijacks your data and demands a ransom in return.
Without backing up this information, your company will certainly be in trouble. But this is the kind of hassle that a cloud backup tool can avoid with great efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
If you're not yet familiar with what the cloud is, it's a technology that stores your data in specialized locations called data centers. Elo Backup uses the largest and most secure data center in the world to store your information: Amazon's AWS!
If you become a victim of ransomware, viruses, or any other malware, your data will be recovered quickly, at no additional cost, and without any harm to your company. It's the security guarantee your information needs.
And you don't need to remember to keep sending information to the cloud, as files can be scheduled for upload to the cloud according to your business needs, using a backup manager that notifies the user whenever something is wrong or any data they need to know.
This investment in the security of your data brings financial returns and prevents losses in money or strategic data for your business in the short, medium and long term.
