What happens when the anti-virus software doesn’t work?

I’m prompted to write today following a call we had this week from a new customer.

This mid-size organisation is in the unfortunate position of having their data encrypted by Ransomware after a user clicked on a link they should have left alone. To make things worse, when they looked to recover from their backups, they found corrupted files and incomplete data. I’m glad I didn’t have to make that phone call to the boss!

Most of us know about the importance of effective end point protection, and we may have even scheduled user security awareness training to reduce the largest threat vector we face - our users, but have we invested time in our last line of defence?

If you are like a lot of organisations, your environment has expanded and your data has grown exponentially, but you may not have found time to look at your backups since you set them up a few years ago.

Backup Health Check

If this is raising your blood pressure, relax … Accucom engineers have significant experience across many backup technologies and can help give you that peace of mind. Schedule our one day, comprehensive Backup Health Check service and reduce the risk. We will assess your environment and report back to you on specific topics including:

• Retention rates
• Missing source backups
• Backup validity
• Growth and future capacity
• Software version
• Assessment of RPO/RTO's
• Recommendations

And lastly if you haven't already, I strongly suggest you think about your current end point protection and whether it is able to protect against Ransomware!
