What can Aegis Cloud Disaster Recovery (CDR) Do for You?

The usage of Cloud in business has now become a vital part of the New Normal. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cloud is one business tool that has become an essential infrastructure. Being smart about the usage of cloud platforms and services can mean a significant deal, creating a difference between gaining a competitive edge and falling behind. However, businesses that do not possess a business continuity plan will face even greater business continuity risks. This includes business failure, tarnished reputation, and lost productivity which would ultimately lead to financial loss. Therefore, it is undeniably crucial for any business to implement a business continuity plan. Hence, the need for a Cloud Disaster Recovery solution.

What is Cloud Disaster Recovery (CDR)?

Put in simple terms, Cloud Disaster Recovery is akin to having insurance for your servers, against malware attack, data loss and any kinds of disaster. Cloud Disaster Recovery is a service that enables the backup and recovery of a cloud-based platform on remote servers. It stores and backs up selected files and data on a remote, third-party server so that the data can be recovered in cases where the files were to be lost or damaged.

Though most companies may have an off-site disaster recovery plan, a Cloud-based Disaster Recovery plan provides a more economical and efficient provider-managed platform. One of the most prominent Cloud Disaster Recovery Service Provider is Aegis.

Why Aegis Cloud Disaster Recovery (CDR)?

Although there are other cloud disaster recovery services available in the market, Aegis CDR is the most preferred as it combines cloud backup/restore service that caters for on-premise or cloud bundled with complimentary unlimited DR resources.

With Aegis CDR, you never have to worry about having no “Plan B” in the case where your business were to face with disaster. Aegis CDR equips you with Disaster Recovery Virtual Machines located remotely at Aegis CDR’s data centre, which consists of snapshots of your production servers. Therefore, if a disaster were to strike, you can activate DR Virtual Machines in minutes, allowing the business to resume its operations without any loss. As an added protective measure, Aegis CDR even provides dual Disaster Recovery sites to ensure DR infrastructure redundancy—the primary Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC1) being in Cyberjaya, while the secondary Disaster Recovery Centre (DRC2) being in Kuala Lumpur. With that said, that’s not all that makes Aegis CDR outstanding. Mentioned below are 3 key differentiators of Aegis’ CDR:

  1. Aegis 1Price-Any-Technologies (1PAT): A cloud backup service that licenses customers to utilise any backup technologies at a fixed price.
  2. Aegis Disaster Recovery As-A-Service (DRaaS): A disaster recovery service that is equipped with unlimited DR resources ready to be utilised by customers during DR declaration.

Protecting Remote Office 365 User Data is Critical

Especially now when remote working has become the new norm of working, business transactions and communication are becoming increasingly prominent on online platforms. Out of all available platforms, the one that stands a head above the rest would without a doubt, be Microsoft Office 365, thus the need to protect Office 365 data.

With the emergence of Microsoft Office 365 in the digital market, it has since revolutionised the concept of working and running a business—allowing for more flexibility, no longer needing to set up VPNs and remote connections in order to access your data when you need it. Due to the mobility offered, this platform is viable for remote working, providing access to work from anywhere and also between devices.

Even with how appealing Office 365 seems, it does come with a weakness, which is the safety of your data. The ease of access to your data is akin to a double-edged sword; this convenience often accompanied with the risk of your information being exposed to endpoints and threats.

Contrary to common misconception, the threats are not only limited to external cyber-attacks such as ransomware but are also caused by misguided users updating the wrong section of a shared resource or deleting the data by accident or on purpose. This shows how susceptible your data is to harm. Due to this, protecting remote Office 365 user data is a critical issue to consider. 

Why the Need to Protect Remote Office 365 Data?

With how the concept of Office 365 revolves around the idea increasing access points to your data, you might be wondering shouldn’t Office 365 already have security protocols to protect your data? The answer to this is that it’s not that they do not have any security protocols, but it’s that there are too many types of attacks to counter. If you are someone who often makes use of public WiFi, just the act of connecting to the public internet connection already makes your device vulnerable to cyber-attacks, as it is a notorious breeding ground for attackers.

As for those of you who are working from home and are making use of a home router, you are not entirely safe from a threat either—many routers are not hooked up with a physical firewall and are often configured with less-than-optimal security settings. Aside from that, your home WiFi may even be sending out your network information using the hashtag algorithm that was cracked three years ago, making it easy for any third parties to get a hold of your data. The worst part is, this is merely a few out of the many threats your data can be exposed to, which is why using remote Office 365 may put your data at risk. 

What Microsoft Office 365 Does and Doesn’t Protect Against

To put it simply, Office 365 protects the hardware the data sits on but not the data itself and works around the Shared Responsibility Model, which details that the responsibility is shared between both Office 365, as well as the user. Below is an outlook of what Office 365 is and isn’t responsible for:

  1. Responsibility always retained by user: Information and data, devices, accounts and identities.
  2. Responsibility varies by service type: Identity and directory infrastructure, applications, network controls, operating system.
  3. Responsibility transfers to cloud provider: Physical hosts, physical network, physical datacentre

In short, you are responsible for not only the accounts and devices connecting to the service but the data you are storing on the service. Hence, Microsoft is not responsible for providing an archived copy of your pre-attack data if your data were ever to be damaged by a virus of any sort. Decisive acts regarding when, and how to save your data is your call to make. Even in terms of email retention policies, Office 365 only retains emails for a maximum of 93 days after deletion. This limited retainment period means that you cannot restore any emails that you have accidentally deleted if it has gone past the retention period.

What Remote Office 365 User Data Should You Protect?

The broad answer to what data you should protect would quite simply be everything. Even so, amongst the various services provided by Office 365, there are a few applications that you should place further emphasis on, in terms of user data protection. The applications in question would be those that play a crucial role in enabling remote working, which are the following:

  • Exchange Online: this application offers flexibility in accessing your emails, enabling you to access them from not only Outlook on your computer, but also on your phone or any web browser.
  • SharePoint Online: this application is a documents manager which allows multiple users to connect and collaborate on a document—providing seamless business interactions.
  • OneDrive for Business: an application which allows you to access your files from a web interface, and also map those files as a local drive for quick access and upload.
  • Microsoft Teams: a prominent virtual meeting platform which allows users to communicate instantly, share files, and orchestrate meetings with both internal and external users.

As these services and application play a vital role in the shift of work environment to home and remote environments, backing up the data in these platforms would be a necessary security measure to take to ensure that your data is not under threat.

Protect Office 365 Endpoint Security
How to Protect Remote Office 365 User Data?

With all that’s said, it does not mean that you shouldn’t use Microsoft Office 365 at all. Having so many convenient services and applications in its arsenal, it would be such a waste not to make use of Office 365. Therefore, instead of avoiding the use of Office 365, you should focus on educating users of the potential risks and threats of losing Office 365 data. For starters, ensure that your security patches and devices are up to date, and to use a VPN whenever necessary (especially when using a public WiFi). Last but not least, practise backup of your Office 365 data.

From what we have discussed above regarding the responsibility of Office 365, it is clear that Office 365 is designed to be a cloud-based productivity suite—not a data backup and recovery solution. Therefore, on top of educating Office 365 users, it would be wise to back up your Office 365 data in an external cloud or platform as insurance, so that you can still retrieve your data when it is damaged or corrupted in the Office 365 storage.

Although the Microsoft Services Agreement covering all Office 365 products runs more than a staggering 15,000 words, the issue of backup is only discussed in about three instances—all of which suggest setting up your own data backup solution with a third-party provider. If you have no idea which third-party provider to seek out, you could engage the services of Aegis, a pioneer Cloud Disaster Recovery service provider in Malaysia. Offering various cloud products, we believe that Cloud Office 365 Backup (COB) would be of significant use in ensuring the safety of your Office 365 data. Below is a short overview of what Cloud Office 365 Backup (COB) provides:

  • A backup service specifically catered to backup and restore Microsoft 365 data, which includes Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft OneDrive from Office 365 cloud to Aegis cloud.
  • Peace of mind knowing that you have a backup outside of Microsoft.
  • Convenience of easily finding and restoring as many files as you need, or even restore an entire user’s data or folder to a point in time.

Ensuring Your Disaster Recovery (DR) Strategy Doesn’t Fail

To protect organisations from unforeseen risks such as human errors, cybercrimes, and natural disasters, many owners have begun to implement solutions such as a disaster recovery strategy. While it is advisable to do so, most backup and disaster recovery vendors and their clients tend to assume that the proposed solutions are effective. As a result, they overlook the importance of running disaster recovery drills. In this article, we will outline the significance of disaster recovery drills, followed by Aegis’ disaster recovery strategies. 

Disaster Recovery (DR) Drills

A Disaster Recovery (DR) drill is a simulation of an organisation’s DR recovery plans and solutions. It involves testing, examining, and evaluating the DR plans to ensure that the organisation can recover data, continue operations, and restore business-critical applications during times of disaster. Some common focus of a DR drill includes application recovery, data recovery, communications, recovery point objective (RPO), and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). 

While it is common to have organisations involving DR plans, many fail to invest time and resources into simulating their policies. This scenario can be caused by the restrictions and expenditures of running DR drills. However, without simulation and evaluation of DR plans, organisations risk having ineffective and unsuccessful recoveries in times of real disaster. This is because there is no evidence that the DR plans can execute as expected when disaster strikes.

Besides ensuring the effectiveness of DR plans, DR drills also aim to guide enterprises in reviewing, updating and testing their DR plans. Should any unforeseen disaster arise, the DR plans should meet the organisation’s RPO/RTO requirements. It is also vital to run DR drills whenever there are new and upgraded products. This is because very few business operations remain stagnant. Any change in business growth or expansion could knock your DR plan out of alignment.  

Aegis Disaster Recovery As-A-Service (DRaaS)

Aegis Disaster Recovery As-A-Service (DRaaS) is the best model for businesses that require disaster recovery services that bundles with unlimited DR drills. With more than 10 years of proven workability track record, Aegis DRaaS proves to be a solution that empowers businesses to roll out the most workable and cost-effective disaster recovery plan. That being said, Aegis DRaaS promises business continuity during an emergency, minimising if not eliminating the outages and downtime caused.

How Aegis Cloud Disaster Recovery’s 4-3-2 Backup Rule Helps You Fight Ransomware

The advancement of technology has benefited our lives with innumerable convenience. However, this also opens the doors for cybercriminals to commit crimes via multiple malware, including ransomware. Backing up data is a key part of Ransomware protection and defending against other malware. Having known the threats of cybercrimes, Aegis seeks to protect the data and files of our clients by using cost-effective delivery systems. In this article, we will be exploring how Aegis Cloud Disaster Recovery (CDR) and its 4-3-2 Backup Rule helps you in fighting Ransomware. 

What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is one of the malwares that encrypts and attacks a victim’s files. As suggested by the name of this malware, victims are directed to make payments and obtain the decryption key. In other words, ransomware prevents victims from accessing and restoring their files until they make their payments. The amount of ransoms varies greatly. 

There are several ways in which Ransomware uses to access the victims’ computers. The most common delivery system being the phishing spam, which are the email attachments in victims’ mailboxes. These emails usually masquerade as trustable sources so that victims are more likely to download and open the files. Upon downloading or opening the files, victims will have Ransomware taking over their computers. Hence, protection against Ransomware is necessary for the security of your data.

Common Targets of Ransomware Attacks

Anyone who has essential and attractive data can be the target of a ransomware attack. Recently, educational institutions such as private schools, colleges, and universities are one of the top ransomware targets. This is because educational institutions often carry a vast amount of essential data, such as research, financial data, medical records, and intellectual properties.

Furthermore, governmental agencies are also an easy target for ransomware attacks. These agencies often carry crucial and time-sensitive data, which makes them more likely to recover their data as soon as possible by paying the ransom. That said, healthcare departments are vulnerable to ransomware attacks due to a similar reason. They are more likely to pay ransom due to the urgency of recovering their patients’ data, especially those who are in critical stages of life.

Lastly, firms that carry a massive amount of data are also the targets of ransomware attacks. Some examples include retail, finance, HR, energy, and utility departments. It is of utmost importance to have reliable and effective ransomware protection strategies. To do so, you will require reliable services from cloud disaster recovery professionals, such as Aegis. Before understanding how Aegis protects your data, it is helpful to understand the common backup practices in today’s market.

The Backup Rule

The usual backup practice in the market is following the 3-2-1 Backup Rule. The 3-2-1 Rule is an effective defence system against Ransomware. It can be broken down into three different parts, as shown below:

  • (3) Copies of Data

This backup method has three copies of your data or files stored in multiple underlying storages. Having at least two backups for your primary data prevents you from losing all your data at once during incidents such as fire, theft, and vandalism.

  •  (2) Different Storage Media

This step ensures that your data is stored in two different media types. Some common examples include storing copies in the cloud, tape, or hard drive.

  • (1) Off-Site Copy:

This rule means that at least one copy of your data should be stored remotely. Ransomware attacks destroy the data stored in the same location quickly. Thus, this rule suggests having one copy of your data stored in a different location, city, state, or country. It usually involves storing your data in an off-site cloud storage.  

Different from the basic backup rule, Aegis Cloud Disaster Recovery (CDR) levels up the data protection game by provisioning the 4-3-2 Backup Rule instead!

  • (4) Copies of Data:
    • a. Client’s primary server
    • b. Aegis DR Appliance at Client’s production site
    • c. Aegis Disaster Recovery Centre @ Cyberjaya
    • d. Aegis Disaster Recovery Centre @ Kuala Lumpur
  • (3) Different Storage Media:
    • a. Aegis DR Appliance at Client’s production site
    • b. Cloud Storage @ Aegis Disaster Recovery Centre @ Cyberjaya
    • c. Cloud Storage @ Aegis Disaster Recovery Centre @ Kuala Lumpur
  • (2) Off-Site Locations:
    • a. Aegis Disaster Recovery Centre @ Cyberjaya
    • b. Aegis Disaster Recovery Centre @ Kuala Lumpur
Cloud Backup and Recovery
