Secure Your Dropbox Data: Essential Backup and Recovery Strategies

Dropbox – the file hosting service and cloud storage solution that grew so incredibly popular, that it became a verb. Dropbox Business has 14.6 million paying customers, as of Q1 2020. 56% of Fortune 500 companies have at least one Dropbox team. 500,000+ teams share, sync, and collaborate on files using Dropbox Business. But did you know that while Dropbox is incredibly secure, it cannot protect you from common causes of data loss at your end? Or ensure full compliance with the GDPR? Read on for the whys and hows to secure Dropbox data with backup and recovery.

Why Secure Dropbox Business?

Coz The Onus Is On You!

Dropbox categorically states, “Deleted files are marked for deletion in our system and are purged from our storage servers. They can no longer be recovered”. A critical document mistakenly/maliciously deleted? A sync error that purges a folder? Your employees and customers count on you to ensure that their data is readily available and recoverable. A fail-safe way is to secure Dropbox data with backup and recovery.

To Stay Compliant With GDPR, HIPAA, And Others

Dropbox only keeps data only for 180 days. Thus it does not comply with GDPR’s Article 32 Security of Processing which mandates demonstrable recoverability. Furthermore, GDPR urges organizations to utilize State of the Art (SOTA) backup and recovery (Articles 25 and 32). The only way you can use Dropbox and still comply with GDPR is by using third-party backup.

Breaches Due To Malware Are Rising

Social engineering has proven to be 2020’s top cybersecurity threat, with it providing hackers with an insider’s view of your organization’s data. COVID-19 scams are rising, as are ransomware attacks. When your best anti-virus software, network detection systems, and firewalls fail when an employee clicks a well-disguised phishing link, what do you do? Your stress levels will vary drastically based on whether you have the safety net of backup or not. If you do, you can easily recover the data from your immutable backup, and ensure easy data, and consequently disaster recovery. Thus blunting the repercussions of the malware attack.
