Ransomware thieves beware

Some attacks - such as 2021's REvil attack on Kaseya - target backup systems first to ensure that backups will be useless after the malware scrambles production data.

According to Veeam's 2023 Ransomware Trends Report, 93 percent of cyber attacks last year targeted backup storage to force ransom payments.

The ESG study, which surveyed over 600 organizations, found nearly nine in 10 were concerned that their backups have become ransomware targets.

Object First designed its out-of-the-box immutability backup storage to integrate with Veeam's backup software.

Object First has also used this principle to segment its backup hardware from backup software.

In the face of rising ransomware threats targeting backup data, the combination of Veeam's end-to-end encryption and Object First's immutable storage provides an advanced line of defense.
