BP Case Confirms That Even Important Storage Devices Get Lost
NovaBACKUP protects important data against loss through hardware loss
(PresseBox) - According to the Guardian, a BP employee has lost a laptop containing personal data belonging to thousands of Louisiana residents who filed claims for compensation after the Gulf oil spill. In this context, data protection specialist, NovaStor stresses the relevance and importance of protecting data on local and online devices.
Danger of Hardware Loss Often Not Sufficiently Recognized
Many companies and private users do not recognize the frequency of hardware loss. Laptops in particular are often forgotten or lost. As the present case of an BP employee shows, this also applies to devices with data of utmost importance.
NovaStor Recommends Data Protection with Remote Management
Data protection specialist NovaStor recommends enterprises to equip laptops with backup software that can be managed from the main office and supports reliable encryption. To enable a fast restore by the user, data on mobile workplaces should be protected on local storage devices, while at the same time being encrypted and backed up to the main office for full availability. NovaStor?s software allows administrators to use a central management to ensure adherence to security policies for each single workplace at a central view.
