Ransomware is one of the trickiest cyber threats out there because relying on routine approaches (I.e. cloud backups) may not be enough to protect you., Clean, offline backups need to be completed daily and/or incrementally but, more importantly, the customer needs to understand the Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) to avoid paying a ransom. Discuss your Network Security Posture and Backup / Disaster Recovery requirements with Altitude Unlimited, Inc. to be sure you are truly protected from a Ransomware attack when, not if, it happens to you. |
