Not only are cyberattacks on the rise, but hackers have also recently breached a number of big businesses that have caused challenges both locally and around the world.

The computing power in the cloud is breathtaking. Unlike most on-premise technologies that are costly, unreliable, insecure, and unscalable, cloud services are the exact opposite. They lower IT costs, enhance productivity, bolster security, increase business agility, among other benefits. No wonder businesses and IT leaders worldwide are grappling with replacing the "slowly dying" on-premise technologies with cloud services and applications.
Data backup protects a business from catastrophic data loss resulting from hardware failures, natural disasters, cybersecurity attacks, system outages, or network disruptions. Backing up data involves replicating it and storing it in different places. Such as the cloud, backup servers, and dedicated backup devices. This way, you can recover your data and information from a previous state and time in case of system outages. However, the efficiency and effectiveness of data backup are reduced drastically when you do not test them regularly and routinely. Data backup and recovery testing is the process of assessing the effectiveness of the systems, procedures, and methods that a company uses to replicate, store, and retrieve data in times of need.
