Air-Gap vs Immutable Backup
Veeam News, Tuesday, August 22,2023
According to 2023 Data Protection Trend's Report, 85% of the 4,200 organizations surveyed suffered at least one ransomware attack in 2022. What was even more startling was that 39% of an organization's production data was either encrypted or destroyed during the attack and victims averaged only being able to get back half (55%) of what had been affected.
With cyber threats showing no sign of slowing down, it's not surprising that most companies have adopted immutable and air-gap (i.e. survivable storage) technologies to ensure their data recovery efforts are not hindered by ransomware. This blog aims to discuss the differences between air-gap and immutable backup technologies and how organizations can leverage these solutions in their cyber resiliency strategy.
