Safeguarding corporate data against ransomware requires a proactive strategy; Here is our take on how Cohesity can ensure comprehensive security and rapid recovery.
First, let’s talk about a situation called: Sophisticated cyberattack.
It’s quite common and rampant these days. Nothing new.
The attacker is known as Ransomware, a malicious software that locks a person’s files, computer, or network and then demands a ransom to restore access.
Here’s a description of how this attack happens:
A suspicious link is clicked.
An infected file is downloaded.
The ransomware quietly installs itself on the device, locking important files so they can’t be opened.
A message then appears demanding payment.
At this point, most organizations are faced with a difficult decision: either pay the ransom and hope their data is restored, or risk losing access to important data.
Unfortunately, payment is never a guarantee that the data will be restored.
So, is there a solution to this situation?
Yes.
The solution lies in Data Backup and Recovery.
Data backup and recovery is a process that involves making copies of important data and keeping them in a safe place. If the data is lost, damaged, or deleted, it can be restored so the business can continue operating normally.
However, having backups alone is not enough. Organizations need a reliable system to help manage, protect, and recover important data.
What system is suitable for this approach?
Gatemark would respond with Cohesity DataProtect.
Cohesity Dataprotect is a unified data backup and recovery solution designed to help organizations protect their data from cyberattacks.
Some of its functions include:
. Automatically making copies of important files, applications, and systems so they can be recovered if something goes wrong.
. Keeping backup data safe from cyberattacks and helping organizations recover clean copies of their data after a ransomware attack.
. Quickly restoring lost, deleted, or damaged data.
. Reducing duplicate data and saving storage space, helping to lower costs.
. Protecting data whether it is stored in a company’s data center or in the cloud, all from one place.
. Safely storing important records and making them easy to access when needed for audits, legal requirements, or investigations.
As no system is fully perfect, Cohesity also comes with some downsides, such as:
. Setting up and configuring the system can be complex, especially in large or highly regulated environments.
. The solution can be expensive, particularly when additional features or workloads are required.
. Reporting options may not provide the level of detail some large organizations need.
. Backing up and restoring certain applications or databases can be challenging and may require extra manual effort.
. Support response times may sometimes be slower than expected when dealing with urgent issues.
However, organizations would rather deal with these challenges than risk losing important data.
Technology experts have recently stated that it’s no longer a matter of “if” your data is going to be attacked, but “when”.
And honestly, they’re right.
Cyberattacks are becoming more common, and no organization is completely immune.
So, how prepared is your organization if it was faced with a cyberattack today?
