Not If, But When or How Often
George Axberg is vice president of data protection at Vast Data.
“The Fourth of July, and other long holiday weekends, are historically some of the biggest windows for ransomware attacks,” he said. “The onslaught of ransomware has spawned a digital pandemic in which any organization can suffer crippling attacks and disastrous outcomes. For many organizations, it’s not an if scenario, but rather a when or a how often they will be targeted.”
Taking proactive measures to protect and harden backup data, while providing optimized restore speeds, should be among organizations’ top priorities in the ransomware era, Axberg said.
