Ransomware is malicious software that infects a computer and restricts access to crucial user data until a ransom is paid to unlock it. Ransomware is designed to spread through your network, exploiting technical and human vulnerabilities and leading to a significant impact on your business. Ransomware attacks were up 93% in 2021 and are no longer a question of if but when. Costs have skyrocketed to nearly two million dollars (US) per incident and have a global economic impact of over 20 billion dollars (US).
Join this session to learn how to ensure your backups are immutable, that you’ll be alerted of any possible ransomware attacks in your virtual environment, and that you’re able to recover those workloads free of any malware.
