Are you familiar with NIS2? If your organization operates within the European Union (EU), you’re likely already preparing for its impact. But if it’s not yet on your radar, it’s crucial to understand this new directive and how it will affect your cybersecurity strategy.
The Olympics’ official website has published an entire page on what you need to know about cybersecurity and the Olympic games. It’s an excellent primer for those less technically inclined to understand how they can protect themselves digitally and still have fun watching people throw disks at each other.
It's been a wild ride since Object First Ootbi launched on February 14th, 2023.
Over the last year, we've added many new customers and grown tremendously as a company, more than doubling in size, securing Veeam backup data from ransomware.
Here's a quick look back at how far we've come and what's new with Ootbi.
In blog #2 of this series, we delved into the central principles of the Zero Trust Data Resilience (ZTDR) model: segmentation, multiple data resilience zones, and immutable backup storage. This model and architecture, a collaborative effort between Veeam and Numberline Security, extends CISA’s Zero Trust principles and Maturity Model to the enterprise data backup and recovery use case.
In blog #1 of this series, we have outlined Zero Trust principles and introduced the new Zero Trust Data Resilience (ZTDR) model. The ZTDR model and architecture have been developed in collaboration between Veeam and Numberline Security. It extends the tenets of CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model with the following principles that cover enterprise data backup and recovery.
Let’s be real here: passwords are dying. In the olden days, you could get by with 2-3 memorable passwords and brute-force your brain to figure out how to get into your MySpace account without fear of being locked out, and that was still pretty secure.

However, this model has not been substantively applied to data backup and recovery. Zero Trust advisory firm Numberline Security and Veeam recently collaborated on research to fill this gap and reduce risk for organizations seeking to evolve beyond perimeter security.
This year, I wanted to enhance some of the tips I shared last year and mix some spicy new ones to help all backup-minded individuals find the peace of mind they deserve. Consider this blog an amendment to the previous World Backup Day constitution.
Simplicity, on the other hand, can be a powerful tool in enhancing data center security. A simpler system is easier to understand, monitor, and secure. It reduces the number of potential attack vectors and makes it easier to spot anomalies.
Here are some ways simplicity can be incorporated into data center security.
