Data — whether in databases, documents, or media — is the lifeblood of modern business. It’s no surprise that year after year, IT executives make securing their business-critical information their number one priority.
But as cybercrime continues to evolve, digital threats are increasingly focused on separating businesses from their data assets, whether it’s stealing information to sell on the black market or using ransomware to restrict access to data systems. The statistics are shocking: ransomware attacks are up by 365% from Q2 2018 to Q2 2019. Since even the best ransomware detection and prevention tools aren’t foolproof, what can an organization do when the unthinkable occurs?
On this webinar, sponsored by StorageCraft and presented by ITPro, industry experts Michael Krieger, CEO of MRK Technology Marketing, and Sean Derrington, Sr. Director of Product Management at StorageCraft, will address how businesses can recover instantly from a ransomware attack — without paying a ransom. Attendees will learn:
- How ransomware has evolved
- Why education is critical to avoiding ransomware problems
- The role of identity and access management in securing enterprise data
- How backup, recovery, and business continuity represent the strongest line of defense against ransomware
- What new data protection techniques can be used to thwart a ransomware infection
