Protection against Ransomware – Why Secure Online Backup in Switzerland is Important

Data and its contents are becoming increasingly important, and physical copies of data often no longer exist. But how can the ever-growing flood of data be secured so that it remains preserved even if the computer fails? Besides choosing the right backup solution, a good backup concept is important to ensure relevant folders are backed up regularly and automatically. Due to falling cloud storage costs, it's becoming increasingly popular to store data externally. External data backup means storing data not only on a local USB device but also securing it in the cloud. Online backup has the advantage that it can be accessed from anywhere, and data centers are much better protected against attacks and damage than home computers or company servers.

1. Double Protection + Ransomware Defense

We recommend securing all important data outside your office or home. This reduces the probability of data loss to practically zero. While it may not always make sense to back up system files and application data externally, it's always worthwhile for important documents such as memorable photos, tax and pension documents, Excel and Word files, employment references, etc. Additionally, professional backup not only protects against data loss but also actively guards against malware such as ransomware.

2. External Backup is Better Protected – Especially in Switzerland

A professional data center can actively protect its infrastructure and stored backup data using the latest security measures. This level of protection is hardly achievable for private individuals or SMEs. While data centers like ours are actively monitored 24/7, attacks on home or SME environments are usually only noticed after the fact. Switzerland, with its excellent IT infrastructure and high data protection standards, provides an optimal foundation for secure Swiss online backup.

3. Secure Online Backup Encryption Protects Against Unauthorized Access

If a backup offers strong encryption and lets users choose their own key (without storing it anywhere), the backed-up data is well protected against unauthorized access - so well that even the data owner cannot access it if the key is lost (calculating 256-bit AES keys is only possible within hundreds of millions of years using today's supercomputers due to the prime number factorization problem).
