6 key steps: what to do after a ransomware attack

Checklist

Ransomware attacks companies every 11 seconds.

The end result? Lost productivity, loss or exposure of sensitive data, loss of current revenue, and even the risk of future profitability.

But there is good news: by deploying a cloud-based backup and DRaaS, your organization can recover much more quickly from a ransomware attack—significantly reducing the impact of ransomware and protecting companies’ bottom lines.

Whether your company has been infected by a ransomware attack or you want to try to mitigate any potential risks in the future, you need to be prepared.

Take a look at this checklist explaining the key steps that need to be taken once ransomware hits.

Building an innovative cloud disaster recovery plan

Get best practices, examples and templates

White Paper

Cybersecurity Ventures predicts cybercrime damages will cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021 and “will be more profitable than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined.” In such a climate, an attack is not a matter of if, but when.

Business continuity and disaster recovery go hand-in-hand, so it’s essential that IT teams are prepared for when the worst strikes.

However, not all DR plans are created equal. Only 22% of businesses have high confidence in their disaster recovery plan.

Druva Data Protection for VMware Cloud on AWS

Solution Brief

On-demand cloud compute and storage services have grown steadily as companies continue their digital transformation journey. As businesses look to reduce costs, increase agility and improve the efficiency of their data center operations, they are selectively moving workloads to the cloud. The result has been the creation of a new business model known as hybrid cloud.

The goal of the hybrid cloud is to bring portability and consistent operations to on-premises and cloud environments. VMware Cloud on AWS is a joint development effort between AWS and VMware to deliver such an integrated cloud solution.

Learn how, with VMware Cloud on AWS, customers can:

• Reduce operational overhead and get to the cloud faster by leveraging existing
skills, tools, and processes familiar to IT personnel
• Align costs to business needs with flexible consumption options and
investment protection
• Get a single inventory view of both on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS
resources using vCenter server technology

The comprehensive guide to ransomware protection and recovery

White Paper

The rise of ransomware has become a crisis that has crippled organizations world-wide. New strains of ransomware are on the rise, and with more remote employees the risks and exposure are higher than ever before.

Reliable backup and recovery are a crucial line of defense against ransomware. Having secure backup images of critical business data and applications allows companies to roll back in time to recover applications and data before the point of ransomware infection.

Learn about these 5 steps to protect from and limit the impact of ransomware:

1. Identifying and automating data protection for key business assets
2. Protecting backup environment with immutable data
3. Detecting early threats and potential risks
4. Responding proactively to prevent contamination and threat permeation
5. Recovering data quickly with flexible recovery options

Modern NAS backup and recovery

Identifying the key drivers for secure enterprise cloud backup

eBook

Files, emails and unstructured data are an integral part of core business processes and workflows for virtually every organization. This was confirmed by the recent research conducted by Aberdeen, which shows that digital documents continue to dominate the way how work gets done in enterprises. Given this business context, it’s not surprising that fast and reliable backup, as well as rapid recovery, are top priorities for Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, and today’s IT leaders.

Read this eBook and learn about:

• The leading drivers for NAS backup and recovery investments
• Important concerns for NAS-related technology capabilities
• Top priorities with sudden shift to work from home - and how to keep users up,
running and productive

You need to simplify remote office backup – and here’s why

White Paper

Cloud backup has a compelling value proposition for every enterprise looking to protect their data, and especially for remote and branch offices (ROBOs). Companies can reduce data protection costs by over 50%, minimize downtime, and enable central IT to manage backup and recovery remotely. Cloud backup allows companies to better comply with data privacy regulations and provides protection against data loss due to ransomware attacks.

Read this white paper to learn:

• Relevant business cases in which distributed data risk is especially high
• Why cloud-based data protection is ideal for ROBO
• Best practices for implementing cloud backup and recovery for ROBO
• How an effective cloud-based data protection solution looks like

What is cloud-based backup and recovery?

White Paper

Today’s companies struggle with the challenges of protecting data cost-effectively. Cloud-based backup and recovery can help your company – no matter how large or small – achieve reliable, scalable backup at a much lower cost compared to expensive on-premises protection.

Find out how your company can benefit from cloud-based backup and recovery. Read this white paper to learn:

• The difference between “backup and recovery” and “disaster recovery”
• Why cloud-based backup and recovery costs much less than on-premises
backup
• How easy it is for your end-users to access cloud-based data storage
• Why cloud-based backup is ideal for remote-office/branch-office storage

Reduce costs with cloud-based VMware data protection

eBook

IDC estimates data is growing at a 61% compound annual growth rate — and with this influx of data, your organization might struggle to maintain data security and facilitate growth. That’s why you should consider a third-party data protection solution that is certified for VMware on-premises and cloud environments.

Read how VMware data protection in the cloud provides:

• Radically lower TCO, with up to 50% costs savings
• An infrastructure that is hosted completely offsite (no hardware, software,
maintenance, or real estate)
• Fast response times in the case of failover for disaster recovery
• Centralized global management, visibility, and monitoring
