An enterprise needs to keep archived information safe from hostile intruders. Which method best limits exposure by removing data from a network-accessible environment during routine operations?
Mirroring materials daily to a second housing facility
Holding incremental snapshots on the same infrastructure
Maintaining archived data offline ensures it is completely isolated from the primary network, making it immune to attacks targeting connected systems. This method protects data integrity even if the production environment is compromised. In contrast, approaches like mirroring, replication, or snapshots remain accessible through the network and may be affected by the same intrusions, making them unsuitable when isolation is the priority.
