Manage episode 402764843 series 2521414
In 2014, software-as-a-service company Code Spaces disappeared overnight after a devastating cyber attack. Thousands of coders lost access to their work when insufficient cloud backups failed under pressure. The company was forced to go out of business.
Learn the tragic tale of how Code Spaces ignored standard data protection rules, putting their business and clients at risk. We’ll unpack what went wrong with their cloud architecture and backup systems, allowing a single hacker to destroy their SaaS company.
Understand why you still need backup - even native cloud redundancy isn't enough. Our hosts explore the hard lessons from this cloud catastrophe and equip you with actionable advice around security, access controls, preparation, and backup policies. Safeguard your slice of the cloud and avoid the mistakes that ultimately shuttered Code Spaces.
