Protecting your data and ensuring its’ availability is one of your top priorities. Like a castle in medieval times, you must always defend it and have built-in defense mechanisms. It is under attack from external and internal sources, and you do not know when or where it will come from. The prevalence of ransomware and the sharp increase in users working from home and on any device adds further complexity and broadens the attack surfaces available to bad actors. So much so, that your organization being hit with ransomware is almost unavoidable. While preventing attacks is important, you also need to prepare for the inevitable fallout of a ransomware incident.
Here are just a few datapoints from recent research around ransomware:• Global Ransomware Damage Costs Predicted To Reach $20 Billion (USD) By 2021 • Ransomware is expected to attack a business every 11 seconds by the end of 2021 • 75% of the world’s population (6 Billion people) will be online by 2022. • Phishing scams account for 90% of attacks. • 55% of small businesses pay hackers the ransom • Ransomware costs are predicted to be 57x more over a span of 6 years by 2021 • New ransomware strains destroy backups, steal credentials, publicly expose victims, leak stolen data, and some even threaten the victim's customers
So how do you prepare? By making sure you’re recovery ready with a layered approach to securing your data. Two proven techniques for reducing the attack surface on your data are data isolation and air gapping. Hitachi Vantara and Commvault deliver this kind of protection with the combination of Hitachi Data Protection Suite (HDPS) and Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) which includes several layers and tools to protect and restore your data and applications from the edge of your business to the core data centers.
