On this World Backup Day, it’s a great time to think about how far backup has come. Backup is now simpler, more secure and more cost effective than ever. And for some organizations, it’s moved to the cloud. While backup to the cloud has its advantages, IT is never a one-size-fits-all proposition. Here are three … Read More

By helping their customers protect against ransomware, VCSPs can grow their footprint with existing clients and attract new ones. It’s easy with Object Lock technology.
Ransomware is now the #1 cybersecurity threat, so we recently partnered with an independent research firm on a survey of 200 organizations that had been victims of a ransomware attack to learn about their experiences. You can read the survey report at 2021 Ransomware Victims Report | Cloudian, but here are three key lessons that emerged:
For anyone questioning the threat that ransomware poses, the recent attacks against Kaseya and Colonial Pipeline are a harsh reminder of why ransomware has become the top cybersecurity threat. Unfortunately, traditional defenses such as anti-malware software and anti-phishing training for employees have often proven ineffective, leading organizations to look for better solutions. In a new Gartner report titled “Innovation Insight for Leveraging Isolated Recovery Environments and Immutable Data Vaults to Protect and Recover From Ransomware,” the analyst firm highlights the critical role data immutability technology can play in ransomware protection.
It is not just the responsibility of the IT/IS department to keep the business safe, but the obligation of every CXO and Board member to ask for and implement stringent cyber security measures starting with zero trust, perimeter security, and employee training.
Our joint solution combines Cloudian Object Storage with VMware’s vSAN Data Persistence platform through VMware Cloud Foundation with Tanzu. Adding Cloudian object storage software to vSAN is simple and easy, and serves any cloud-native or traditional IT application requiring S3-compatible storage.
Ransomware attacks increased 150% last year according to Group-IB, a leading cybersecurity solutions provider, a trend that shows no signs of slowing. Given the financial, operational and reputational risk that ransomware poses, boards of directors need to make sure that safeguarding data from an attack is a top priority for the organizations they oversee. I recently made this case in an open letter to board members in Australia that was published in our only national daily newspaper, The Australian, and is reprinted below.
