Selecting the Right Backup and Recovery Solution for Cyber Resiliency
Restoring files from a backup should be your safest and most reliable solution for recovering from ransomware. How do you determine what data protection vendor best prepares you for a ransomware attack? While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are critical features of a ransomware remediation plan that all organizations should consider.
Additional technical requirements of a secure architecture
To ensure proper protection against ransomware, best-in-breed backup and recovery vendors implement strong security controls by design. Here are a few technical requirements when evaluating the underlying architecture:
- Access to the filesystem to perform read/write operations is available to only the vendor at all times and never to an external client.
- Vendor does not expose any standard storage protocols, such as NFS or SMB, for interacting with the filesystem.
- Vendor does not allow read access of data in its native format to external clients.
- Vendor performs backup validation checks to ensure backup data is never changed. This ensures that you only restore exactly what was in the original copy.
- Immutability is native to the filesystem with no user configuration or management needed
