Tried & Partial Solutions
Typical prevention efforts – e.g., training employees to avoid being phishing victims, software to inspect emails for malware, encryption – don’t work/fall short/leave gaps. In fact, business email compromise (BEC) is emerging as a preferred attack, circumventing filters and firewalls.**
Even having a backup copy, separate from live data, doesn’t offer full protection because hackers target backup data.
THE BEST SOLUTION:
Lock Ransomware Out
Keep Data Safe with Veeam & Cloudian
WORM (Write Once Read Many) storage is the easiest and most effective strategy against ransomware – data is made immutable, preventing malware from encrypting data and locking the victim out.
Cloudian and Veeam now provide WORM at the storage system level through a feature called Object Lock. This is the only on-prem object storage solution in the market that is fully integrated with Object Lock.
