Tips for backing up your information
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security’s website explains:
“Having a backup (a copy) of your organization’s information is one step that you can take to improve your cyber security and your resiliency. If your networks, systems or information are compromised, a backup helps your organization minimize downtime and get back to business quickly.”
In plain language, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security explains the following:
- Why you need backups
- Types of backups
- When you need backups
- Where to store your backups
- What else to consider
The information is also available in a PDF:

Analyst Comments:
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security provides easy to understand guidance on many cybersecurity issues. While the guidance is provided by a Canadian government agency, the international aspect of cyberthreats and cybersecurity makes the guidance useful to all Faith-Based Organizations. Also, it can be helpful to receive cybersecurity recommendations from multiple credible sources.
