23 Jan Cloud backup: a pillar of critical infrastructure

In today’s digital ecosystem, data has established itself as the most valuable asset of any organisation. However, its vulnerability to technical failures or cyberattacks is a constant reality. Therefore, cloud backup has ceased to be a secondary backup option to become an essential component of the critical infrastructure of any company aspiring to total resilience and successful digital transformation.

Your digital life insurance: resilience against the unexpected

We can define cloud backup as an organisation’s digital life insurance. Its primary function is to allow the full recovery of information in the event of a system error, a physical disaster on the premises, or an external attack. 

True cybersecurity for business consists not only of building walls but of ensuring that, if those walls are compromised, the company can get back on its feet in a matter of minutes. Having data stored off-site, in geographically distributed and encrypted environments, is the best guarantee against the loss of confidential information.

Secure network for your data: the role of optical fibre and the cloud environment 

For a backup strategy to be effective, speed and reliability are non-negotiable. There is no point in having a backup if the upload process saturates the network or if restoration is too slow. 

This is where critical optical fibre infrastructure plays a decisive role. For data to travel quickly, it needs a high-capacity network that does not fail. This infrastructure is what allows businesses to enjoy all the advantages of cloud connectivity, such as remote accessibility and real-time collaboration, without the integrity of the information suffering. 

As we analysed in our article on data transmission in cloud connectivity, working in virtual environments creates a scenario of great possibilities for productivity and scalability, but demands that security be the absolute priority.

Cybersecurity: a shield against attacks and data flow challenges 

One of the pillars of cybersecurity in modern companies is the protection of data flow. To ensure that connectivity and backups are inviolable, it is essential to implement robust measures:

• Advanced encryption: Data must be encrypted so that, in the face of any vulnerability, it is impossible for third parties to decipher.
• Access control: Implement user management systems and security keys to monitor who accesses the information.
• Automation: Schedule cloud backups to occur automatically, eliminating the risk of human error and ensuring business continuity.

Business continuity and strategic commitment

Investment in secure technologies continues to grow in Spain. Companies are aware that the cloud is a strategic asset that ensures that, if an office has a technical problem, employees can continue working from another location without losing anything. 

The combination of automated cloud backup and an optical fibre network managed as critical infrastructure allows companies to focus on their growth, knowing that their “digital brain” is protected by the strictest cybersecurity protocols.

Conclusion: an integral shield for the modern company

Cybersecurity for business must be approached from a 360-degree perspective. Having a robust fibre network is the first step, but ensuring that the data travelling through it has a secure, accessible, and recoverable destination is what completes the circle of protection. 

At lyntia, we work to ensure our network is the ally that protects your most valuable information, allowing your business to take advantage of cloud scalability with the peace of mind of always being backed up.
