  "name": "Offline Tape Backups",
  "description": "Offline Tape Backups refers to a data protection strategy involving the use of magnetic tape media that is physically disconnected from a computer network. This 'air-gap' provides a layer of security against cyber threats such as ransomware, as the data cannot be accessed or deleted remotely once the media is removed from the drive.",
