  • Why data recovery does not equal cyber recovery

    Ransomware is here to stay — in fact, it’s become a thriving business with organized gangs and sophisticated approaches. Cybersecurity firm Sophos notes that the cybercriminal economy has transformed into an industry unto itself, adopting an as-a-service model for an increasing scope of operation.

    The antidote is preparation and a readiness to recover. But in this crucial area, most organizations fall short, despite rising awareness of the ransomware threat, by simply relying on traditional data protection measures.

    Discover in this white paper why data recovery does not always equal cyber recovery, and what you need to know to truly protect your backup environment.

  • Fighting ransomware: Why good luck won’t help you

    According to Cybersecurity Ventures, global cybercrime costs are expected to grow by 15% per year, reaching $10.5 trillion USD annually by 2025, up from $3 trillion USD over the last decade.

    In another worrying trend, new variants of ransomware specifically target backup data for encryption or deletion to ensure that victims have to pay.

    You may be tempted to cross your fingers and simply hope your backups won’t be targeted. That temptation might cost you.

    Download this e-book for the Insider’s Guide to Defending Against Ransomware, so you can evaluate the real risks, costs, and strategies for IT leaders.
