How Long Does It Take For A Hard Drive To Be Recovered?

Data recovery services typically take between one and three days to complete. However, there are some cases where the process takes longer than expected. In these situations, the data recovery company will provide you with a timeline so you can plan accordingly.

Can I Do My Own Hard Drive Recovery?

If you’re looking to do your own hard drive recovery, you should first determine whether the drive has been formatted. This means that the data on the drive has been overwritten by new data. If the drive hasn’t been formatted, then you won’t be able to access any of its contents.

What Are Some Common Causes Of Hard Drives Failure?

There are several common reasons why hard drives fail. These include overheating, power surges, mechanical failure, and improper handling. In addition, some hard drives contain sensitive data that must be protected. Therefore, it’s essential to perform regular maintenance on your computer so that you can avoid these issues.

How Can I Prevent Hard Drive Failures In The Future?

Regularly performing maintenance on your computer will help prevent future hard drive failures. This includes cleaning out dust bunnies under your desk, replacing your keyboard batteries every six months, and ensuring that your computer has enough RAM (random access memory). If you notice any unusual noises coming from your computer, contact a data recovery expert immediately.

How to get files off a raid hard drive | RAID Data Recovery

What does RAID Data Recovery mean?

RAID data recovery is the process of retrieving and restoring data from a RAID storage device such as NAS, Servers, SAN etc

Data recovery experts use a combination of automated and manual data recovery processes to extract and recover data from one or more RAID drives and storage components. RAID data recovery can be implemented on both hardware- and software-based RAID.

RAID data recovery is unique from the normal data recovery processes as the RAID storage architecture uses a unique and complex method of storing and extracting data. RAID data recovery can be for any of the RAID levels, some of the most common include RAID 0, Raid 1, Raid 5, Raid 6, Raid10, Raid 50, Raid 60, Raid 5E, Raid 5EE. Raid Failure is usually caused by:

Faulty hard disk

Faulty controllers

Data overwritten

Application/software corruption

Reformatting

RAID recovery generally requires reconstruction of all RAID storage arrays to original or last known good settings and configuration. The individual/software must know the RAID configuration at the hardware, software and firmware level to successfully retrieve data. Identifying the correct RAID array is an essential part of the RAID recovery process.

Since raid is very delicate, it’s not advisable to attempt to recover without the necessary skills, this is because any mistake or wrong rebuilding could render the data unrecoverable. Images of all the disk should be taken before attempting anything. For raid cases, it’s best to consult a data recovery expert.

Why Over-Reliance On Cyber Insurance Poses Risk To Organizations.

Ransomware gangs target organizations with cyber insurance policies because their conversion rate is high. Ransomware incidents accounted for 41% of cyber insurance claims in the 1st quarter of 2020 in North America alone. That’s according to a report published by cyber-insurance provider coalition.

Having a cyber insurance cover is great but it alone will not guarantee data safety and the headache that comes with cyber attack incidents. It’s the same as having a health insurance cover but still living an unhealthy lifestyle. The moment you get unwell, you still experience challenges even though you have a cover.ie low productivity,  loss of livelihood that may cost you more in the long run.

It’s best practice for an organization to have a cyber insurance policy and still have cyber security controls to prevent attacks in the first place. Over reliance on cyber insurance and not investing in proper cyber security control measures can still put an organization at risk. Cyber insurance providers may not pay premium for breaches that could have been avoided with proper cyber security control measures.

Cyber Security Team

The cyber security team (CISO) should also be involved during the cyber insurance uptake from the onset. This will help the management to understand technical language and also the coverage level.

For the insurance claim to be paid incase of an incident, certain security control measures must have been put in place and followed through as per the policy agreement. if this is not the case, the insurance provider will not pay the claim hence the importance of the security team’s involvement.

Conclusion

Cyber insurance shouldn’t be a replacement for a proper cyber security program. It may help offset some costs but it cannot cover cost from loss of R&D data, intellectual property or reputation damage.

Having a proper cyber security control strategy will help an organization identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited.

Combining proper cyber security control measures and cyber insurance policy will help organizations;

Avoid penalties & fines from regulators.

Give confidence to clients in regards to safety of their data.

Give confidence to stakeholders that their money/investment is safe.

Give them an edge against competitors.

Avoid loss of revenue due to interruption of services.
