Highland Bank: “Your money (and data, applications, services) are safe with us!”

Highland Bank: “Your money (and data, applications, services) are safe with us!”
Everybody knows: it’s better to hear it once from the real customer than thousand times from a vendor. Nobody can tell you better than the actual user how the solution works, how the deployment process went, and what support they are getting. Especially so in DR space: customers don’t like talking about it, as if being (even potentially) associated with a disaster makes them look bad. Only those who really trust their solution, have tested it and know it works, are capable to freely share this information. Some even see it as a competitive advantage – like in case, the statement “Your Money is Safe with Us” goes beyond and above of what it usually implies when coming from a bank with strong, proven DR solution in place. Your data is safe, your applications will be accessible, and our service will be available. In the end of the day, it’s all about peace of mind – for the management, internal users, and their customers.

City Governments Turn to the Cloud for Data Recovery
More U.S. cities are striving to improve their outdated IT operations — an effort that could save these local governments time and money. Migrating data from legacy data centers to the latest architectures and tools is a complicated process that can be timely and can result in data loss if not carried out correctly. To simplify the process and save on costs, these government agencies are using the cloud in a backup role, as a resource to absorb any data spikes that can occur and as a disaster recovery unit.

To Protect Valuable Health Data, Address the Human Factor
Data breaches at Target and Neiman Marcus last year served as a wake-up call for retailers and customers alike to shore up their data protection. But health care organizations have been slower to follow suit. Earlier this year the FBI warned the industry that it’s particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats compared with other sectors.

3 Tips for Banks to Mitigate BYOD Risks
Banks collect and store mountains of data about transactions, customer accounts and trades, and the majority of that data is highly sensitive. Last December when Barclays failed to properly back up electronic records, emails and instant messages, it faced a $3.75M fine. A failure to back up financial data violates U.S. regulations and has a severe impact on a company’s reputation and database.

Report: Data Breach Cases Rise, Companies Must Rebuild Trust
It's safe to say you've entered your personal information at some point online. Whether it's a new doctor form, a purchase form, or a crowdfunding campaign, most people in today's world have given some pretty intimate details away on the Web. Before the advent of the Internet, this information was usually stored in a file folder behind a desk. Today, though, if not protected properly, it can show up in a myriad of unwanted, sometimes very public places.

3-2-1: A Simple Rule for Complex Data Protection
When companies lose data, the ripple effect reaches all the way to the bottom line. For a gargantuan company like Amazon, data loss and its associated downtime could cost more than $65 million per minute. For small and medium businesses, downtime can be equally painful. In a joint study, Acronis and IDC found that 80 percent of SMBs estimate that data recovery costs $20,000 per hour. The remaining 20 percent put that figure at more than $100,000 per hour.  Beyond these initial data recovery costs, companies incur additional costs from lost goodwill and legal fines even after their data is restored. In fact, according to a recent study from IBM into the “hidden costs” of data breaches, having one million compromised records costs an average of nearly $40 million. Additionally, these large-scale breaches take 100 days longer than smaller breaches to detect and contain.
