95% of ransomware attacks also try to infect data backup systems

It’s important that any data backup solution you use have protection from ransomware. This type of feature restricts automated file changes that can happen to documents. 

Here are some more features: 

Continuous Data Protection 

Continuous data protection is a feature that will back up files as users make changes. This differs from systems that back up on a schedule, such as once per day. 

Continuous data protection ensures that the system captures the latest file changes. This mitigates data loss that can occur if a system crashes before the next backup. With the speed of data generation these days, losing a day’s worth of data can be very costly. 

Threat Identification 

Data protection incorporates proactive measures to protect files. Threat identification is a type of malware and virus prevention tool. It looks for malware in new and existing backups. This helps stop sleeper ransomware and similar malware from infecting all backups. 

Zero-Trust Tactics 

Cybersecurity professionals around the world promote zero-trust security measures. This includes measures such as multi-factor authentication and application safelisting.
