Why You Shouldn’t Replace Your Endpoint Protection with Cloud Sharing

A growing trend with many Non-Profit Organizations is to remove endpoint protection or simply replace it with some kind of file sync and share (FSS) solution such as a Dropbox or Google Drive. With the increased accessibility of technology, especially AI and machine learning, viruses are finding new ways to compromise your data.

When it comes to using FSS or Endpoint Protection, the pros say this: “If a file is deleted or corrupted, FSS automatically syncs that change with the secondary copy. In other words, data is instantly deleted or corrupted on both sides. That’s because FSS is designed to give multiple users access to the newest version of a file. FSS tools are designed to facilitate mobile access to data and collaboration.”

How can you solve this potential issue? There are two solutions to easily fix this. The first is to invest in good Endpoint Protection Software. The most powerful Endpoint Protection is the Symantec Endpoint Protection 14 1-Year Subscription for Non-Profits. If you do not already have an Endpoint Protection system in place, I highly recommend looking into Symantec.

The second solution for keeping your data protected is using a backup solution such as Carbonite Safe Core for Non-Profits. Carbonite is a cloud backup solution. Although it sounds similar to a FSS like Dropbox, Carbonite will save copies of your files to the cloud which you can recover if they are damaged or lost. As a backup solution, Carbonite monitors your files and will notify you if it notices your files are corrupted.

In the age of computers it is important to keep your data safe. Utilizing Carbonite Backup Solutions for Non-Profits and Symantec Endpoint Protection can keep your data protected from increasingly dangerous threats.

Worried that this may exceed your tech expertise? Don’t worry. Carbonite runs in the background and you can set it and forget it until you need to restore your backups. Symantec usually requires a server to run, but there are cloud solutions available so any size Non-Profit can benefit from their award winning security.
