In the words of the great Arthur C. Clarke, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” This is a brilliant maxim, but it doesn’t mean that a solution which appears to be magical must be backed by sufficiently advanced technology. Instead, the inverse is often true, and companies develop simple, appealing, even magical taglines to mask the underlying flaws and complexity of their technology.

Information security focuses its efforts around three pillars: prevention, detection and recovery. With ransomware, the first two receive far more attention than the third. This misguided focus results from a lack of understanding about how ransomware really works. This article will explain how ransomware operates at the file system level, how this impacts ransomware recovery and why paying the ransom is not a viable option.

Large companies often deploy Nasuni because they want to do away with the expense, hassle, and management complexity of maintaining dozens or even hundreds of file storage silos at different locations around the world. We began solving that original silo problem years ago. Unfortunately, a new type of silo has arrived on the IT scene.

I was talking with the CIO of one of our longstanding clients recently when he mentioned that one of his favorite things about our platform is that he no longer worries about backup. This came as no surprise. Backup is broken and it has been for decades.

What you do always matters more than how you do it. Relentlessly focusing on what you do and improving that as technology evolves is the only way to keep from becoming irrelevant.

The backup vendors don’t want you thinking about recoverability. But if you hope to survive in the age of ransomware, fast recoveries are absolutely paramount.
