So it turns out that data doesn’t protect itself. And despite providing what might be the most secure and reliable compute platform the Universe has ever seen, Amazon Web Services (AWS) can’t guarantee that you’ll never lose data either. To understand why that is, you’ll need to face your worst nightmares while visualizing all the horrifying things that can go wrong, and then boldly adopt some best‑practice solutions as you map out a plan to protect yourself.
Read this ultimate guide to AWS data backup and learn about the threats facing your data and what happens when things go wrong, how to take risk head on and build an AWS data backup and recovery plan, and the 10 cloud data points you must remember for a winning strategy.
Ransomware is a growing threat to every organization on the planet; it seems we cannot go a day without seeing another high-profile ransomware attack being detailed in mainstream media.
Cyber-criminals are innovating at a phenomenal pace in this growing ‘industry’ because they have the funds to do so. In fact many cyber-criminal groups have more funds than most enterprises.
The disruption these attacks are causing to businesses is huge with billions of dollars’ worth of revenue being lost due to system outages caused via ransomware attacks.
Research has shown that a 41% increase in attacks has occurred since the beginning of 2021 with a staggering 93% increase year over year.
Companies are getting hit via ransomware every day, but how does it get in? Some of the most common ways ransomware is getting in is via the following methods:
1. Phishing emails that launch ransomware attacks via inline links, links in attachments, or fake attachments.2. Browsing unknown links and websites.3. Downloading and accidentally running infected software.4. Inserting or connecting an infected disk, disc, or drive.5. Operating system based vulnerabilities if the OS is not patched to the latest levels.6. Plugin based vulnerabilities if plugins are not patched to the latest levels.7. Infrastructure vulnerabilities (network, storage etc.) if not patched to the latest levels.

Recently, we have witnessed the increasing trend of hackers attempting to extort money from both private users, and more recently businesses, via the proliferation of various Ransomware Trojans such as CryptoLocker.
These malicious pieces of software are designed to gain access to and encrypt data and files by generating a private-public pair of keys. The data is impossible to decrypt without the private key which is usually stored on the attacker’s server until the ransom is paid.
Sometimes you just have to accept that prevention isn’t always possible, but mitigating the threat certainly is. With Zerto, systems are protected with Continuous Data Protection in the form of incremental block-level replication, which combined with the journal, Virtual Protection Groups give you the abilities to recover from ransomware attacks.
