“Currently, there are over 120 separate ransomware families, and we’ve seen a 3500% increase in cybercriminal internet infrastructure for launching attacks since the beginning of the year” points out a recent CRN Quarterly Ransomware Report.
To mitigate the threat of such attacks, ALANTEX recommends to regularly backup data and to secure backups in the cloud.
Secure your backups
- Prevent accidental data loss by retaining backups for 14 days after deletion with soft delete.
- Protect data against ransomware attacks by enabling multiple-user authentication as an additional layer of authorization for critical operations.
- Fully control how to protect and access your data with customer-managed keys that use 256-bit AES encryption.
- Enable secure transfer of backups to Canadian based Backup storage with private endpoints.
- Ensure availability with zone- and geo-redundant storage and the ability to restore backups from a paired region at any time.
- Grant fine-grained access to users for specific backup operations using role-based access control (RBAC).
