US National Data Awareness Project launched

A consortium of data storage companies, IT managers, professional development organizations, and distributors have launched a comprehensive educational initiative aimed at helping businesses of all sizes improve the way they protect their operations against catastrophic data loss.

The National Data Awareness Project (NDAP) is based around an educational campaign to ‘enlighten businesses about the human, technical and natural threats that can cause catastrophic loss incidents that have the potential to cripple or kill a business and how to protect against those threats’. The project was established to address the wide gap between real data vulnerabilities and existing data protection practices at businesses of all sizes.

The companies involved in the launch of this project are Asigra Inc., Bell Micro, Breece Hill, Data Protection Services LLC, Office Depot, PowerFile, ProStor Systems, Yosemite Software, and ZeroWait, as well as the Data Management Institute, host of the semi-annual Disaster Recovery and Data Protection Summit.

The NDAP is asking local government representatives to join in this initiative.
