# Backup & Recovery Security

Domain: [Cybersecurity & Identity](https://bedreweb.com/services/cybersecurity-and-identity) · Page: https://bedreweb.com/services/cybersecurity-and-identity/backup-and-recovery-security

Backup and recovery security that keeps your backups out of an attacker's reach so you can restore after ransomware or deletion.

## What it is
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.

## What is included
- **Backup exposure review**: Checking who and what can reach your backups.
- **Separation of access**: Backup credentials and storage kept apart from production.
- **Immutable or offline copies**: Copies that cannot be changed or erased in an attack.
- **Encryption**: Protecting backup data in storage and transit.
- **Recovery drills**: Practising restoration from a clean state.
- **Alerting**: Notification of failed, missing or tampered backups.

## Outcomes
- **A reliable way back**: Backups survive an attack on production.
- **Reduced ransomware leverage**: You can restore instead of paying.
- **Tested recovery**: The team has practised the steps.

## Good fit if
- Your backups are on the same network as your servers.
- You rely on one admin account for everything.
- You have never tried a clean restore.

## FAQ
**What does immutable mean?**
Data that cannot be changed or deleted for a set period, even by an administrator.

**Are cloud backups safe from ransomware?**
Not automatically. Settings, credentials and retention rules decide how well they are protected.

**How long should we keep backups?**
It depends on business needs and any legal retention rules. We help set a sensible schedule.
