Why Immutable Backups Are Your Ultimate Safety Net
Understanding air-gapped data snapshots and why traditional external hard drives are no longer enough to protect against automated ransomware attacks.
Modern ransomware strains actively seek out network shares and external USB drives to encrypt or delete backups before executing their encryption payload.
Immutable cloud storage locks data snapshots in a write-once-read-many (WORM) vault that cannot be altered, encrypted, or deleted by any user or administrator until the retention window expires. Combined with air-gapped offsite replication, your business data remains 100% recoverable even after an aggressive breach.
