Jira Backup Script vs. Third-party Backup

Both large and small projects need to be managed in some way. It is essential to track the progress and statuses of key tasks. Projects can be managed using “ancient” methods – on a piece of paper, a blackboard, or using colored cards… but why if there are many better ways? The problem actually arises when we want to scale up. Then, organizations would require more storage space as there would be much more data, tasks and statuses.

What Takes Place When Your Messages Move Across Devices or Platforms?

Messages are no longer stored in one location. It's possible for a conversation to begin on your iPhone, continue on your laptop, and conclude on your iPad. Or you could use your iPhone to text an Android user. Although these changes appear to be smooth, your messages go through substantial changes that compromise their integrity, security, and privacy. Every platform and device transition introduces potential vulnerabilities, so it's important to understand what happens during these changes. The safeguards that keep your message safe on one system might not hold up when it travels to another.

Understanding the Fundamentals

Docker and OpenShift solve different problems in containerization. Docker creates and runs containers, while OpenShift manages container deployments at enterprise scale using Kubernetes underneath it. Docker vs. Openshift isn’t about choosing one over the other but rather understanding which tool fits your specific use case. Docker excels at application packaging and local development. OpenShift handles production orchestration, security policies, and multi-team environments.

DORA compliance checklist: A guide for financial entities and their technology partners

While it shares a name with a popular cartoon character, there’s nothing cute about this DORA. The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has financial entitles and their service providers scrambling to meet DORA requirements or face fines and penalties. DORA is a cornerstone of the European Union's strategy to strengthen the financial sector against risks related to information and communications technology (ICT), although it has global implications that reach far beyond Europe.

10 smart ways to prevent identity theft

Nowadays, identity theft has become one of the fastest-growing cybercrimes. In 2024, the United States' Federal Trade Commission received over 1.1 million identity theft reports¹, which is an increase of about 9.5% compared to 2023. What's even more disturbing is the fact that more than 47% of the Americans have their personal info exposed². Sometimes one mistaken click or download is all it takes to turn your life upside down.

Immutable Storage: The Backbone of Modern DevOps Resilience

Nearly 94% of ransomware attacks initially targeted backups. Mainly to encrypt them. That means, for SaaS and DevOps platforms, backup alone no longer solves the problem of data protection. A copy of backup data is worthless if it can be altered (corrupted) or blocked when you need it most. Besides, integrity has to be provable and data recovery certain. That’s why immutable storage is a baseline requirement for resilience in modern IT architectures.

Real-Time Data Replication: All You Need to Know

Protecting your most critical services in a datacenter requires more than just regular backups — this demands replication to ensure minimal data loss and downtime in case of a failure. Virtual machines offer a significant advantage over physical servers by simplifying this process. In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of real-time replication for virtual machines, covering its principles, key use cases, and how to configure it effectively, with a focus on VMware vSphere.

2026 Backup Readiness Checklist: A Practical Self-Audit for MSPs & IT Teams

Most MSPs and internal IT teams already run backups. The real question isn’t whether you have backups, it’s whether those backups will actually save you when something breaks. That’s where this article helps to check if anything important is slipping through the cracks. Protect Your Data with BDRShield Cost-Effective Backup Solution for VMs, Servers, Endpoints, Cloud VMs & SaaS applications.

Understanding Ransomware Threats to Backup Systems

Ransomware attacks target your backups before anything else. Recent data shows that two-thirds of organizations faced ransomware in the past two years, with attackers specifically hunting backup infrastructure to eliminate recovery options. Once your backups are gone, you’re left with two choices: Pay up or lose your data permanently.

Cyber Insurance: Why Backup Is Key To Lower Premiums & Higher Eligibility

As the rate of ransomware attacks keeps growing, the demand for cyber insurance is also greater. The State of Ransomware 2025 report by Sophos outlines that nearly 50% of companies in the report paid ransom. This underscores the need for stronger security measures — not only for data protection but also for cyber insurance eligibility.
