Why Data Recovery Should Be a Part of Your Cybersecurity Strategy
It begins with a small error. A corrupted file. An unresponsive drive. An urgent folder, gone without a trace. For businesses and individuals alike, the sudden disappearance of data can trigger panic, confusion, and serious consequences. But in many cases, the real crisis isn’t just the loss of data—it’s the realisation that there was no recovery plan in place. In India, where digital transformation is rapidly reshaping every sector—from banking and retail to education and healthcare—the reliance on data is greater than ever.

So do I. But behind the fun and fantasy, there’s a conversation we need to have—one that’s a little less magical but far more critical: What are we giving up in exchange for those AI-generated visuals? Where Did It All Begin? It all gained momentum when a Seattle-based software engineer transformed a family photo…
Website Security: Is Your Business at Risk?
Let’s be real for a second — cyber threats today aren’t just an “IT department issue.” They’re a full-blown business crisis waiting to happen. You might think your business is too small to be on a hacker’s radar or that your remote team has things under control.
