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.

  • How to best handle endpoint device backup

    Remote backup of data on endpoint devices like laptops and smart phones is a challenge for IT staffs. Because these devices are often disconnected from an organization’s network, data created and stored on these devices can go unprotected for considerable lengths of time.

    In a study of 140 IT managers in the U.S., remote laptop backup software vendor Druva Software reported that 89 respondents said their organizations didn’t have a laptop backup policy. Endpoint devices can be backed up incrementally over the Internet with deduplication; the backup process can operate in the background while the user is working.

    This Drill Down takes a look at remote backups today, focusing on the challenges and solutions available to address endpoint device backup. You will learn the approaches for backing up laptops today so you can decide which approach is right for your organization’s specific needs.
