Webinar Overview

Lately, we've been hearing news about cyberattacks almost every day, but is your company adequately prepared? If your company is attacked and your important data is deleted, it will be difficult to continue your business

Ransomware attackers, in particular, delete snapshots and backups before encrypting the data. This tactic involves cutting off all means of recovery first, creating a situation where "it's impossible to recover on your own," before demanding a ransom

Cloud snapshots reside within the same authentication infrastructure as the production environment. If administrator accounts or API keys are compromised, the snapshots will be deleted along with the production data, rendering both production and backups unusable simultaneously in the event of a major outage or account suspension. Simply taking backups is not enough to protect your data. Backups are only meaningful if they can be restored

What needs to be reviewed now is the location of backups. Whether or not backups can be stored in a separate location and on a separate authentication infrastructure, in a way that prevents deletion, will determine whether or not recovery is possible

This webinar will compare two attack scenarios—one with "snapshots only" and the other with "external backups"—to highlight the limitations of snapshots. Following this, we will introduce a method using Acronis Cyber ​​Protect Cloud to store backups from multiple clouds separately and externally, as a way to satisfy the fundamental backup principle of the "3-2-1 rule."
