PURPOSE:
Data protection contains much more than just adopting basic backup and recovery techniques, extending to issues related to data corruption, retention and data loss, data accessibility and availability, data confidentiality and sanitization, and compliance. In a nut-shell, this workshop shall cover factors to consider for data protection at the storage level and offers detailed best practices to:
  • Safeguarding of physical and logical data following SNIA best practices
  • Restore critical data in the event of a disaster
  • Determine appropriate backup retention periods using DLM and ILM
  • Classify and archive sensitive data according to regulatory and policy requirements 
  • Ensure securing data to meet appropriate compliance regulations
In a nut-shell, this workshop summarizes the techniques used for storage data protection and business resilience methodologies to ensure continuity of operations by using backup recovery tools in the light of DP best practices recommended by SNIA. 

Also understand how to avoid data corruption due to malware or ransomware attacks with tape solutions that physically isolate data from a local area network.

Perform a “Cost of Data Breach” assessment to evaluate your current needs, identify gaps, strengths and weaknesses, and receive recommendations to build an effective Data Protection resilience plan.

Furthermore, this workshop  is designed on the basis that you have got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
