Overview

Information security has become a bit of a cat-and-mouse game between network and server administrators and security managers on one side, and those with an interest in exploiting and damaging the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of enterprise information assets on the other. Two of the activities that may serve as effective controls against threats to the integrity of mission-critical enterprise data include proactive patch management and automated backups stored both locally and remotely.
