Backup My Info! Enhances Premium Service Offerings with "Plug-and-Play" Storage Devices for Emergency Data Restores at No Cost

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 30, 2010

Backup My Info! (BUMI), the premier provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses, today announced a service offering aimed at making it easy for customers to restore their data after a catastrophic system failure. BUMI offers “plug-and-play” storage devices loaded with clients’ encrypted data that can be shipped overnight in order to accelerate the process of restoring. This service, available at no additional cost, can be utilized when an Internet connection is not available or the physical server or location is no longer available.

During a typical data restore, BUMI engineers guide clients through the process which includes retrieving the encrypted data from its data center in Canada through BUMI’s software application. If a large amount of data needs to be immediately restored, BUMI can ship this data overnight in an encrypted and compressed format on a USB storage device which can then be restored rapidly at no charge to the client. Many competitors charge a very large fee for similar offerings. Once the data is shipped to the customer site, BUMI senior engineers remotely connect to assist with recovery procedures.

“During an emergency restore where systems are down and – in certain cases – technology infrastructure may be lost or damaged, the last thing you need to worry about is data loss and business continuity issues,” explained Jennifer Walzer, CEO at Backup My Info!, Inc. “Our all-inclusive service, which consists of shipping a pre-loaded, encrypted storage device to the customer, is part of our mantra to deliver the best service and support – especially after a major system failure or outage.”

“Data backup is essential for any organization – however, restorability provides a true barometer for success,” explained David A. Chapa, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, Inc. “It is imperative organizations evaluate their providers ensuring they offer a complete and proven strategy for data restores – not just backup.”

With data protection and reliability a prime concern for all organizations, BUMI has built several layers of security into its online backup solution. Data is encrypted before it leaves a customer site and remains encrypted at all times. Additionally, BUMI’s senior engineers continuously monitor backup processes to ensure customer data is properly safeguarded and proactively follow up if they identify any errors or problems. From a disaster recovery and business continuity perspective, all off-site backups are stored in SAS70 Type II data centers located in Canada.

Cloud Security Alliance Identifies 17 Key Components for Effective Mobile Device Management of BYOD and Company-Owned Devices

SEATTLE, WA (PRWEB) September 20, 2012

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Mobile Working Group today released Mobile Device Management: Key Components, V1.0, a research report identifying 17 key elements that are critical for organizations to consider for the full lifecycle security management of mobile devices. The whitepaper is one of six parts to the upcoming, “Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Mobile Computing” report, one of a number of important research items to be presented and discussed at the upcoming annual CSA Congress being held November 7-8 in Orlando.

With the growth in the number of applications, content and data being accessed through a variety of devices, mobile device management (MDM) has to extend beyond device management alone. As IT departments are now fully responsible for company-owned devices, organization must look to adopt policies and practices to prevent any compromise in security. Most important, the report cites, is for organizations to include a system-centric functionality to secure and manage data and applications, as well as information-centric functionality such as the delivery of the enterprise application store or content library.

Mobile devices are becoming an integral part of corporate networks and as employees are increasingly using their personal device to access cloud-based applications and services, identity management is paramount in ensuring that this access remains secure, said Patrick Harding, CTO, Ping Identity. By having the right identity management processes, enterprises can provide employees with secure and convenient access to cloud apps via single sign-on from mobile devices – whether BYOD or not. The CSA has taken important steps in identifying the key elements organizations need to consider before adopting a BYOD policy and were happy to see identity management recognized as a key piece.

While every company will have a different tolerance for risk and will adopt mobile technology in different ways, there are several fundamental components of MDM that have to be considered and incorporated into policy and practice. With each component falling into one of three major categories: software and hardware, inventory and security, the report provides implementation best practices as well as potentials risks along with a Must Have or Optional rating to help organizations better prioritize their security efforts.

Key components to MDM identified include:
