The Backup Wrap-Up

Backup security is abysmal, says backup security expert


Listen Later

During this recording, Mr. Backup asked our guest how many backup systems that he had looked at had at least one critical security flaw, he said pretty much 100%. Holy. Cow. Doron Pinhas runs a company called Continuity Software, that does security assessments of storage and backup and recovery systems. They got the permission of some of their customers to anonymize and publish their findings, and the results were abysmal. (You can read the report yourself here.) He said it was extremely rare to find a backup environment that was properly configured from a security standpoint. He then went on to explain the kinds of things they look for, and how you can secure your storage and backup and recovery environments. He also explained how such environments are typically overlooked by most security scans! He said they have a lot of resources on their website to help you, and they also have automated tools that will ensure you stay secure once you zipped things up. If I were you, I'd check out those resources right now!
