Ransomware is an increasingly complex challenge for IT departments to solve. With attacks doubling in the last year in the UK alone, there is still clearly a huge amount of work to do until organisations can consider themselves secure – even with the most robust backup strategies in place.
The need for a layered approach
Veeam Software works with partners such as Blocky for Veeam to provide customers with a multi-layered approach to defend customers against ransomware.
During a keynote at the The Channel Company NexGen+ Conference 2021, John Alexander, Veeam Cloud and Service Provider aggregation manager, stressed that Veeam recognises the importance of working with partners in the cybersecurity realm because data recovery and cybersecurity go hand-in-hand.
A last line of defence
In a recent article for CRN, senior editor Gina Narcisi highlights key points from the session where John added that:
“To address ransomware we have to go down through the layers, working with multiple partners to provide a comprehensive solution. With data protection as the last line of defense, it‘s critical that businesses and partners have confidence in that solution.”
A weak point exists because Veeam Software backups stored locally on Microsoft environments lack any native immutability for Veeam Backup and Disaster Recovery volumes.
To close this gap,Blocky for Veeam provides immutable Veeam Backup and Disaster Recovery volumes using application fingerprinting technology. This represents a vital security layer for all Microsoft Windows based Veeam Software installations.
