Backup – Insurance for Your Data

In today's world, we protect ourselves with insurance against the financial consequences of potential damages that are more or less likely to occur. But how do we insure our data?

The loss of data can very quickly lead to existential problems, especially for businesses. Imagine all your customer data suddenly disappearing due to water damage to your IT infrastructure, or being encrypted by ransomware with no way to access it.

Insurance company AIG Europe has published cyber damage cases from 2013 to 2016 categorized by type of damage. Half of the damages were caused by hackers, viruses, and ransomware.

A backup no longer primarily protects against hardware damage but against damages caused by security vulnerabilities in your own IT infrastructure.

Therefore, it is absolutely recommended to have a backup outside of your own IT infrastructure and business premises.
With our Online Backup solution, we offer you exactly that: data backup outside your premises but 100% in Switzerland - insurance for your data
