Large-scale infections like WannaCry and NotPetya were widely covered in the news last year.

In the meantime, cybercriminals were demanding $51,000 in bitcoin to return access to the ATL. The Atlanta attack is just the latest high-profile ransomware attack that should prompt everyone to review their data protection strategy – because given how fast the threat from ransomware is evolving, old defenses are proving less effective against the new threats.](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/atlantas-ransomware-woes-how-defend-your-organization/) [22 March 2018 — 4 min read ![Image 8: Acronis Backup’s Self-Defense Delivers Unmatched Protection of Corporate Data](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/blog-cover/8d171c9d5dce1ca04801e22dc732de75.png) Acronis Backup’s Self-Defense Delivers Unmatched Protection of Corporate Data For companies of all sizes, business backup software is an essential part of their security strategy.

Solid-state drives (SSDs) have solved many of the problems that have historically plagued hard-disk drives (HDDs), particularly when it comes to sudden mechanical failures and longevity.
