A snapshot of 2024’s challenges

The MyBroadband article detailed significant incidents that underscore the vulnerabilities faced by South African organisations:

• A government entity suffered a significant breach earlier this year, resulting in sensitive data being exposed online, sparking widespread concern about the handling of critical information.
• A leading packaging company detected unauthorised access to its IT systems despite having embedded security protocols.
• A global mining giant experienced a cyber-attack that disrupted all its IT systems worldwide, impacting operations on a large scale.
• A prominent financial institution confirmed a data breach caused by insider threats, compromising personal and financial client data.
• A major telecom provider uncovered fraudulent activities tied to the unauthorised sharing of customer information.

These events illustrate the diverse range of threats, from external cyber-attacks to internal negligence, that can severely disrupt operations.

DRaaS and how it works

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a cloud-based solution designed to minimise downtime during disasters.

By replicating critical systems and hosting them in a secure cloud environment, DRaaS allows businesses to recover swiftly and maintain operations.

With Resilient Innovations’ DRaaS, hosted on our private cloud in a secure South African data centre, businesses gain compliance and peace of mind.

Imagine walking into a retail store only to hear, “Sorry, our systems are down. We can’t process payments right now.”

Such downtime can lead to lost revenue, frustrated customers, and reputational damage.

With DRaaS, businesses can avoid this scenario by switching to a replicated environment in minutes, ensuring sales systems, inventory tracking, and payment processing remain operational – even during IT disruptions.

BaaS and how it works

Backup as a Service (BaaS) ensures the safety of critical data by securely storing it in an offsite, encrypted environment.

This proactive approach protects against data loss from cyber-attacks, accidental deletions, or insider threats.

Resilient Innovations’ BaaS leverages our private cloud, housed in a secure, ISO-certified data centre in South Africa, and provides unmatched data integrity and compliance with local regulations.

For instance, if a retail store accidentally deletes its entire product database, BaaS can provide an immediate recovery solution.

By accessing the latest encrypted backup, the store can restore its inventory system quickly, minimising downtime and avoiding operational chaos.

Take action today

The risks are clear: cyber-attacks, insider threats, and operational disruptions are escalating, and their impact can be devastating.

However, there are solutions within reach.

By implementing DRaaS and BaaS, your business can recover swiftly from disasters, secure critical data, and maintain operational continuity.

With Resilient Innovations, you gain a trusted partner dedicated to safeguarding your operations.
