Cloud backup fundamentals: fighting ransomware with immutable storage

It seems like every news report carries a story about a company being targeted by ransomware, with some of the biggest companies in SA being prime targets. In a world where data can be taken hostage, what can business owners do to protect their sensitive information from criminals?

Next generation data security like immutable storage is the latest line of defence against cybercriminals. Let’s take a look at this innovative technology and how it can protect business information – even if a cloud storage provider falls prey to a cyberattack.

immutable storage: putting a lock on your data

Backup solutions like secure cloud storage are becoming increasingly popular because they offer a secure place on the internet to keep your data safe.

But what if your storage provider itself becomes the victim of a cyberattack?

  • Immutable storage makes it impossible for attackers to alter your data. It works by using computer programming to block any changes to the data once it’s in storage.
  • In combination with encryption, immutable storage renders your data unusable by potential attackers. This means that your information will be safe in the cloud since it’s unusable and ransomware attackers won’t be able to use this to extort money from you.

By opting for immutable storage, you’ll be adding a powerful layer of protection to your cybersecurity – in fact, it’s more like a layer of concrete that makes your data impossible to alter and unencrypt.
