Your final defense against digital threats is physical separation.

Cyber attacks are increasing. Is your cloud backup just another target?

Your final defense against digital threats is physical separation.

Organizations are generating vast amounts of data that need secure, long-term storage. Relying solely on cloud backups poses risks, as always-online environments are vulnerable to breaches and ransomware attacks. Additionally, storing large volumes of data in the cloud can incur high per-terabyte costs along with expensive data egress and transfer fees.

The Solution: Iron Mountain Offsite Tape Vaulting & Managed Services

Offsite Tape Vaulting ensures a physical "air gap" for your critical data. By storing backups offline and off-site, tape storage protects against remote attacks and ransomware. This approach supports the "3-2-1-0" backup rule for optimal digital resilience.

  • 1 off-site copy that is physically air-gapped
  • 0 opportunity for data infiltration
