6 Best Practices For Ransomware Protection

Veeam News, Monday, July 24,2023

According to the Veeam 2023 Data Protection Trends Report, 85% of organizations suffered a ransomware attack last year. Of those organizations, 84% had no other choice but to pay a ransom.

It's vital to implement ransomware protection measures early. Once an attack has taken place, it's most likely too late to try and salvage data if you don't have robust protection measures in place. This is because ransomware is becoming increasingly sophisticated and is able to penetrate networks and find attached backups and storage with remarkable speed and accuracy.
