Security News > 2021 > February > Think your backups will protect you from ransomware? What do you think the malware attacked first?
If you think your backup strategy means you're protected from the worst that cyber-criminals can throw at you, we've got some bad news.
If you are unlucky enough to get a "Pay up or else" notice, there's a very good chance that the attacker in question has already been stealthily working their way through your systems for some time, ensuring your recovery data has already been comprehensively trashed.
What if you could ensure that your backups were indeed beyond the reach of attackers, ensuring your organisation is able to bounce back from ransomware and other attacks, with timely, complete data?
That's just what we'll be discussing in our upcoming webcast, Don't Pay the Bad Guys, which will be dropping onto a screen near you on February 23 at 1100 GMT. Our own ever-bounce-back-able Tim Phillips will be joined by Nicholas Groh of Rubrik, who will explain why the choice to rely on your backups doesn't have to be fraught with risk.
Nicholas will be explaining how an immutable backup strategy can ensure recovery is quick and painless.
Together they'll discuss how end-to-end encryption can ensure backups really are immutable.
