Over the past year, enterprises experienced an unprecedented number of ransomware attacks. In fact, according to research by the Aberdeen Group, this type of cyber attack has become so frequent that more than half of all businesses have reported falling victim to at least one ransomware attack during the last 12 months — with most indicating they’ve been attacked more than once in this timeframe¹.
More sophisticated hackers are emerging every day, seizing networks and infrastructure across vulnerable remote workforces and infrastructures. As a result, many businesses are suffering the dire consequences of its effects, resulting in a loss of time, money, and data that can never be recovered. The frequency of these attacks have made it crystal clear that we are facing an entirely new threat landscape that is far more sophisticated and destructive.
As we enter 2021, it is apparent that no new year’s resolution can make ransomware disappear for good. Several new attacks on educational institutions and healthcare providers have already taken center stage in the news cycle. With the risk of attack lingering around every corner, the stakes of data protection and recovery against this type of cyber attack are now higher than ever.
Ransomware is here to stay, what can be done?
With ransomware seemingly becoming an inevitable occurrence in businesses of all sizes, it is imperative that the right solutions are identified and deployed which protect and restore organizations, and their critical data assets. With data proving its weight in gold, reliable backup and recovery in the cloud is a crucial line of defense in today’s modern and diverse IT landscape.
There are several data protection solutions in the market today to help address backup and recovery, but on-premises solutions are not immune to ransomware once the data center systems are impacted. With Druva, your data is never lost and always accessible, offering built-in, air-gapped ransomware protection for all endpoints, SaaS applications, and data center workloads. Druva’s ransomware recovery solution is a cloud-based service and is founded on the industry standards with a zero-trust architecture model, providing rapid ransomware recovery while proactively detecting and responding to malicious threats.
