The digital extortion market is booming. So-called encryption trojans (ransomware) are a popular means of rendering companies’ documents unusable and then extorting money. In such cases, companies often have no choice but to give in to the extortionists. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Give your backup additional protection.
Imagine you are sitting at work and can no longer access your data. Just the thought of it is enough to make your blood run cold. But what happens next is like something out of a film. You receive a message in which anonymous extortionists demand a ransom so that you can access your data again. Only if you pay will you receive the key to neutralise the encryption trojan (ransomware) that was introduced unnoticed. It is not uncommon for companies to have no choice but to comply with the demand. The reason many companies simply pay is, in particular, that a complete restore of a backup can often take several days or, in the worst case, the backup is also affected by the ransomware. Companies are also very worried that the extortionists will not only threaten to destroy the data, but also to publish it online.
Give ransomware no chance with a secure backup architecture
When it comes to backup, Netstream AG relies on the secure Rubrik architecture. Of course, it must be possible to restore the data in the event of a disaster, but ransomware should be prevented from the outset from accessing your files and thus causing damage.
Unlike with a traditional backup architecture, no external client has read or write access to your backup data. With conventional architectures, trojans therefore have an easier time getting to your files.
Before data can be restored to production, Rubrik also ensures that it has not been altered beforehand. This way, you can be sure that no damaged or altered files can cause harm to your production environment again. Thanks to the «Instant Recovery» approach, files can also be made available directly on the Rubrik appliance. This makes it easy to restore even large volumes of data.
Benefits of this solution scenario:
Protect your backup files simply and easily with Rubrik Ransomware Protection.
- Prevent external software from accessing your backup data.
- Easily set up replication and policies for your regular backup yourself.
- Use «Instant Recovery» to restore even large volumes of data directly on the appliance.
- Flexible scaling (up or down)
- Our own highly secure Swiss data center
