In a recent article from SC Magazine, an unencrypted backup tape holding the personal information of about 4.5 million Bank of New York Mellon customers disappeared three months ago while in possession of a third-party vendor.

If secured with Security Confidence's Data Guardian Backup - this issue would have never occurred as Data Guardian:

  • Automatically keeps a copy of your data off site without the need for a third party pickup service
  • While in transit or when backed up to disk your data is completely encrypted
So even in the event a backup disk falls into the wrong hands, your data could not be compromised. Find out more about Data Guardian Backup.
