It is crucial that you protect your files and data against intrusion via firewalls and anti-virus software. However, these safeguards are not always 100% effective. Even backups stored on your servers and network are at risk.  

It is very important that firms invest in disaster recovery that provide off-site and/or cloud backup strategies that insure 100% recovery if their systems are penetrated. It’s the responsibility of firms to make this valuable investment to protect and ensure the integrity of their data. 

Viruses are malicious and have developed levels of complexity and transparency, they are getting more and more sophisticated by the day.

Crosspointe Consulting Group can help you design, plan and implement your backup strategies in conjunction with your IT support personnel. If you do not currently implement an off-site or cloud backup strategy, please reach out to us immediately to begin this assessment.  Call us at 877-357-0555 or send your email request to [email protected]
