Rethink Your Ransomware Resilience and Disaster Recovery Strategy
Ransomware attacks are on the rise and the ability to detect when an attack has begun is critical to the ability to recover quickly. Attackers are constantly evolving their attack methods and traditional backup and recovery technologies simply can’t detect encryption quickly enough.
This free Gorilla Guide outlines the dangers of ransomware, the impacts to organizations, and the need to detect attacks as they are occurring in real-time. This Gorilla Guide topics include:
- The growing threat of ransomware - Challenges of traditional data protection solutions - Comparing solutions - Real-time ransomware detection & recovery- Zerto as an all-in-one CDP solution
Understanding how early detection can help mitigate a ransomware attack and allow recovery more quickly is vital to any ransomware resilience strategy. Don’t become a victim of delayed ransomware detection by relying on periodic backup solutions. Download the free Gorilla Guide now to get informed!

What Can IT Leaders Do to Counter Endpoint Cost Inflation?
"Inflation and supply chain challenges have resulted in device costs increasing up to 20% since the start of 2021, placing significant pressure on budgets for end-user computing. This research identifies three key actions IT leaders must take when faced with extreme budget pressures."How can IT Leaders counter this endpoint inflation? Recommendations include producing a TCO report on endpoint devices and refreshing, not replacing old hardware.
Cybersecurity is now recognized as a key priority for U.S. businesses. However, cybersecurity threats are evolving as risks, and the responses necessary to mitigate them, change rapidly. Staying a step ahead of bad actors is a continuous challenge and businesses—despite their intentions to do so—aren’t always keeping pace.
To solve this problem, IT leaders must understand why. They need answers to questions such as, how is cybersecurity transforming? How are cyberattacks harming businesses? Where must investments in preventative training and tools be focused? Is cybersecurity being prioritized by leadership? And how does cybersecurity fit within organizational culture?
In partnership with Sapio Research, Keeper Security analyzed the behaviors and attitudes of 516 IT decision-makers in the U.S. to answer these questions and more. This report, Keeper’s second annual U.S. Cybersecurity Census, maps the transforming landscape of cybersecurity based on these expert insights. It provides leaders with a forensic assessment of the threats their businesses face and details the urgent strategies necessary to overcome them.
Businesses across the U.S. are making cybersecurity a priority. However, despite efforts and investments, clear gaps remain. Our research shows that there have been small steps, but no giant leaps.
The volume and pace at which threats are hitting businesses are increasing, and leadership can’t afford to wait. If they do, the financial, reputational, and organizational penalties will be severe. Likewise, as work has transformed dramatically over the past two years—with hybrid and remote working normalized— companies need to rethink how they are building cybersecurity resilience.
Heidenreich had challenges with their Citrix platform due to a combination of old and new DELL and Wyse hardware, laptops, and thin clients. When the company was expected to upgrade its Citrix platform to a new generation, the firm expressed concerns about the perceived high cost. Heidenreich started to look for an alternative solution, and their IT consultancy provider, Wedel IT, came up with the idea to implement IGEL OS. This case study focuses on IGEL’s ease of management, flexibility on the client side (new/old hardware), future-focused solutions, and security.
The shift to SaaS and cloud computing allows enterprises to lower infrastructure costs and maintenance while improving efficiency and capabilities through scalable cloud data platforms. This move can also enhance productivity and workflow flexibility, enabling remote access to SaaS applications and data. However, it often leads to diversified endpoint operating systems, emphasizing the need for web browser access to SaaS applications. The adoption of IGEL's Secure Endpoint OS and Island's Enterprise Browser presents a modern solution for enterprises to optimize their digital workspaces and fully embrace this transformation.
There are many misconceptions about data deduplication, and making decisions based on those misconceptions can produce undesirable (and unplanned) results. For instance, deployment of the wrong type of deduplication typically results in:
• Excessively high disk usage and using as much as three times the bandwidth for offsite replication, and the resulting impact on short and long-term costs• Slower backup storage ingest due to inline compute-intensive data deduplication that greatly slows backups down and expands the backup window• Slower restores, VM boots, and tape copies that can take hours or even days due to the time-consuming rehydration of deduplicated data• Backup windows that continue to expand with data growthChoosing a Tiered Backup Storage solution will have a major impact on the cost and performance of your backup environment for the next three to five years because backups are written to a disk-cache Landing Zone for fastest backup performance, and then tiered to a deduplicated data repository to reduce storage and resulting storage costs.
A defense contractor with whom Coretek has had a long-standing relationship spanning nearly two decades had attempted to migrate to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment twice with another technology services provider without success. Impressed by Coretek’s success with VDI implementations in healthcare and other industries, the defense contractor turned to the solution provider for help.
Coretek's VDI offering has evolved significantly over the years to better support today's power users. Due to its industry leadership, IGEL OS is currently the standard for new customer VDI rollouts at Coretek. One of the things that the Coretek team appreciates most about IGEL OS is its high level of configurability, as well as IGEL’s commitment to staying current with trends in the EUC space by aligning IGEL OS with a broad ecosystem of leading vendors, including those providing unified communications and collaboration (UCC) applications and tools. In this particular case, IGEL OS, in combination with new Dell endpoint hardware, enabled Coretek to restore performance following a significant shift in the customer’s usage of its UCC tools.
The customer is currently utilizing high-performance VDI desktops, leveraging IGEL OS at the endpoint, to design defense equipment and support connectivity and collaboration through video conferencing. IGEL’s Preventative Security Model™ supports Zero Trust security approaches and partners with leading Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) vendors to complement and reinforce these solutions from a security standpoint.
