Still recovering months after a cyber-attack. could you do the same?

How long do you reckon it takes for you to be able to recover your systems back to normal after a cyber-attack? While you may be able to restore most things to normal, you can still find yourself months after struggling to fully restore everything back to normal. Take Medway Community Healthcare, for example, they were the victim of a cyber-attack back in December that they are still in the process of fully resolving.

The attack was one of five other cyber-attacks that specifically targeted NHS organisations, with Medway Community Healthcare stating that they have never experienced an attack with such severity before. More about the attack can be read here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93g8k4370zo.

Now, we assume that there were backups in place, but even so, the damage done is still causing problems months later. Do you think you would be able to manage without fully operating systems for a few months? The profit loss alone could cause you to be in a vulnerable position, but it could be even worse if you don’t have a backup in the first place.

Backup Systems wants to help people like you, reading this now, from ever being in a position where you are unable to recover in the event of a cyber-attack. We are one of the leading disaster recovery systems providers in the UK, so we know a thing or two about keeping your systems backed up. We take full responsibility for backing up and maintaining your systems, so you don’t even have to worry about doing it yourself. Let us take care of it.

Storing your backups in an offsite location with a third party such as us means you have the best protection possible when it comes to your systems. A cyber-attack or even human error on your end would not affect the backups on our end, so you can easily restore things back to normal in a matter of hours. We have an easy-to-use GUI where you can access your backups anytime you need to, with SSO and MFA protection included on top of your standard user login combination.

We have a wide array of services for you to choose from. Need your Office 365 suite? We’ve got you covered: Virtual Machines, VMware, Hyper-V, you name it. Email Archiving, SQL Server backups, the list goes on and on. If you want to see everything we offer, then head on over to the managed services section of our website here to read them all – https://www.backup-systems.co.uk/our-backup-and-recovery-services/.

Did we mention? All of the services we provide come with a free demonstration, which you can book right now by emailing us at info@backupsystems.co.uk or by giving us a call on 0845 671 0290. Once we’ve heard from you, we can organise sorting out a Teams or Zoom call, where you can find out the ins and outs of any given service, we provide without fully investing in something that, in the long run, won’t even benefit you.

We want our clients to be fully satisfied with the service we provide them, hence the offering of a free demonstration.
