Introduction
In this current landscape of cybersecurity, one thing is sure – ransomware is not going away. It’s not a matter of if but when you will get hit. As Managed Service Providers (MSPs), safeguarding your customers’ data from the relentless threats of ransomware is paramount. In this blog post, we’ll explore the challenges MSPs face, the need for true ransomware detection for backups, and why Elastio stands out as the ultimate ally in the battle against ransomware.
Are you unwittingly backing up ransomware?
Ransomware, a pervasive threat, is constantly evolving in sophistication. As it becomes more sophisticated, it outpaces traditional security measures, such as Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR/XDR) solutions, leading to delayed detection. With ransomware dwell times often outlasting backup retention periods, this lag in identification gives ransomware the opportunity to integrate itself into backups covertly. By the time the ransomware is discovered, it’s too late: it has already compromised the integrity of your data recovery efforts. So the critical question looms: Are you unwittingly backing up ransomware?
