Backup and recovery security that keeps your backups out of an attacker's reach so you can restore after ransomware or deletion.
About Backup & Recovery Security
Attackers increasingly target backups first, because without them you have no easy way back. Backup security means making sure copies cannot be altered or deleted by someone who has taken over your main systems.
That involves separate credentials, immutable or offline copies, encryption and regular recovery tests. A backup you cannot trust in a crisis is not much of a backup.
