As the ones responsible for recovering from outages, infrastructure and operations (I&O) pros have successfully managed recoveries from all failures but one: ransomware.
Ransomware attacks do not result in the familiar type of outage; they often put the backup infrastructure itself under siege.
It’s not about just recovering from a backup; I&O pros need to work closely with their security and risk (S&R) peers to ensure that they are recovering from an uninfected copy.
Together, they can deploy four technologies to improve resilience against ransomware.

I&O pros have tools and technologies to quickly recover from any backup instance, but they have no way to identify the most recent backup copy that also remains uninfected.
I&O pros must use proactive strategies and combine four technologies: write once, read many (WORM) storage; data resiliency solutions; immutable file systems; and multifactor authentication.
These technologies are not new; I&O pros use them to meet a variety of business requirements. Employ these technologies to improve your confidence and recoverability after ransomware attacks.
