ransomware
![]() Ransomware attacks have become increasingly complex, targeted, and financially devastating for organizations around the world. Global losses from ransomware attacks are expected to reach $11.5 billion this year, according to estimates from the research firm Cybersecurity Ventures. Legacy backup infrastructure, which often functions as a data insurance policy, has become a prime target for attackers that exploit common weaknesses associated with these products. To counter sophisticated ransomware threats, organizations need to reconsider their backup strategy and deploy a solution that proactively prevents backup infrastructure from becoming a target, detects attacks in real time, and if necessary provides an immediate response to recover at scale, in order to avoid substantial downtime.

Ransomware attacks are intensifying in scale and sophistication, and the perpetrators are better at evading countermeasures. A recent NTT Security survey revealed that ransomware attacks rose 350 percent in 2017 over the previous year. According to a survey conducted by endpoint protection provider Barkly, 71 percent of organizations were infected by ransomware after it successfully bypassed their prevention controls. Enterprises must act quickly to contain the risks posed by ransomware in order to minimize cost, recovery time, and reputational damage. A holistic ransomware response strategy integrates accelerated detection and recovery alongside prevention measures, ensuring strong resiliency in the face of cyber threats.

Recent ransomware attacks exposed the vulnerability of endpoint devices, showing that new strains of ransomware can easily bypass traditional anti-virus software to encrypt user data. Acronis Ransomware Protection provides an additional level of defense that can be used together with other data protection solutions already installed on the device, such as anti-virus and backup software. It monitors system processes in real-time to automatically detect and stop the attacks other solutions can't. In event of a ransomware attack, Acronis Ransomware Protection blocks the malicious process and notifies the user with a popup. If any files were damaged in the attack, it facilitates the instant recovery of those affected files.
