Project Description
The project involves replacing offsite immutable storage for the town’s critical data backups. This solution will utilize secure, tamper-proof storage to ensure that backups are protected against cyber threats, including ransomware attacks, and will be accessible in case of data loss or corruption.
Project Justification
Off-site immutable storage is essential for enhancing the town’s data security posture by providing a reliable and unchangeable backup solution. This approach safeguards against ransomware and other cyber threats that can compromise on-site backups, ensuring that the town’s data is always recoverable. Implementing this system will mitigate risks associated with data breaches and improve the town’s overall disaster recovery capabilities. This project is setting aside funding over 5 years to finance the replacement in 2034.
