As cyberattacks grow more sophisticated, one truth is becoming clear: the safest place for your data is offline.
Shannon Dority, Marketing Manager for iStorage - UK writes, “When the Cloud Gets Stormy: Why Offline Storage Still Holds Up”. This blog dives into the hidden dangers of today’s cloud-driven world. As companies rely more on SaaS tools and third-party vendors, they open the door to new security risks—often through no fault of their own. High-profile breaches like MOVEit and SolarWinds show how a single weak link in a vendor’s system can ripple through entire industries, exposing sensitive data and crippling operations.
To fight back, iStorage makes a compelling case for bringing offline storage back into the spotlight. Completely disconnected from the internet, offline data can’t be hit by ransomware, malware, or remote hackers. It gives organizations total control over who accesses their information—and acts as a lifeline when cloud systems fail or cyberattacks strike.
The blog wraps up by spotlighting iStorage and Kanguru’s ultra-secure, hardware-encrypted drives, including the FIPS 140-3 Level 3–certified iStorage datAshur PRO+C and diskAshur3 ranges. These devices combine powerful encryption with easy usability, proving that offline doesn’t mean outdated—it means protected. In a world of ever-growing cyber threats, going offline might just be the smartest move you make.
