- What this time?

— They say it’s good that it’s only 11:00. They’ll be restoring their condition for the evening.
Half an hour passed.
- Potapych, it really is an emergency.
Safety Tales: Storm Cloud
Vladimir Bezmaly | 02.10.2017
Here comes autumn. Just a week ago it was warm, and today the sky is covered with clouds, and it looks like it will rain. Getting out from under the blanket in such weather was a real feat. But I have to go to work.
And then the coffee maker began to hum invitingly from the kitchen. It's time!
Johann finally shook off his sleep and remembered that today he had a meeting with bank representatives about the implementation of cloud technologies. He had long been trying to postpone this meeting or at least shift it to someone else. Alas, he would have to decide everything himself again. But how could he explain to the management that the implementation of cloud services meant a radical restructuring of business processes? And most importantly, how could he explain that this entailed not only resource savings, but also security threats?
With these heavy thoughts he went to work.
- Boss! We have an emergency!
- Yes, Marie, you know how to greet the management in the morning. Did you order coffee?
- You're insulting me, boss! Moreover, Mark, Rita and Karl are already waiting for you.
- Okay. Do they know lebanon mobile database happened?
- No! I decided not to say everything twice.
- Good! What happened?
— Bank A actively used cloud technologies. But in violation of our recommendations, backups were made to permanently connected cloud resources. And...
— Wait, let me continue. Encryptor? Both computers and cloud copies are encrypted?
- Yes! Boss, it's not interesting to talk to you. You know everything.
— The problem is that, as it turned out, the same test database was backed up to the central office for the last year and a half. There is simply no real information from this department. Only the results...
— Who set up the backup? Who checked it?
— The one who set it up quit a long time ago. And who checked it... Most likely, no one.
— And have other departments been checked?
- I doubt.
— We'll have to urgently check the status of all backup copies together with IT. Write an order. Let's go to the general. We need to report.
- Yeah, right...
Do you think this is a fairy tale? Alas, no. A similar story happened in my memory in one of the banks. Are you ready for such events? Are you sure?
