A beautiful jury verdict

Security service provider of the year

An independent jury recently announced its nominees and Backupned has been nominated in the category ‘Security Service Provider of the Year’.

A safe environment for data management is a must these days and Backupned’s initiative is highly appreciated. Customer data is stored on tapes in a secure bunker. As a result, the information is physically separated from all networks. The bunker itself is located in a secret, unrecognisable location. Hackers or curious government agencies or other bodies cannot simply enter the bunker. This approach to storing important data offline is expected to increase in popularity. “A successful company that protects organisations against the American NSA and ‘grey’ and ‘black’ hackers”.
