In this post I’m going to discuss how snapshots are an important feature of the ability to recover data effectively and efficiently in the event of a ransomware attack.
Sadly we live in a day and age whereby ransomware is the “go-to method of attack” for Cybercriminals. It’s estimated that every 14 seconds a business falls victim to a ransomware attack. We see details of the impact of attacks in the news on an almost daily basis and it’s severely impacting the ability of businesses to generate revenue and public services to function as expected. The damage of these attacks is costing billions globally with the estimated cost predicted to reach over $20 Billion by 2021.
Due to this a question we are frequently asked at Catalogic is how can I ensure my content within my NetApp environment is fully protected from the threat of ransomware and more importantly enable the ability to only recover potentially infected files if ransomware hits?
