Ransomware – malware that gets on your customers’ computers, encrypts their data, and extorts a hefty ransom for the decryption keys – is a surging new threat.
When a breach is inevitable and purely a matter of time, the only way you can protect your users is to use backup to restore their systems to their operating state prior to the breach.
This uniquely effective approach to ransomware mitigation presents a golden opportunity for service providers (including managed service providers, cloud service providers, and VARs preparing to enter the cloud services business) to offer their customers antiransomware services based on a combination of on-premise backup and cloud-based backup services, also known as hybrid backup.
The purpose of this eBook is to educate the reader about ransomware attacks.
