The menace of ransomware is driving increased security spending as organizations try to harden their systems against potential attacks, but ransomware is a new kind of threat. You can’t simply deploy tools to defend against the malware. You have to design your infrastructure for recovery.

A ransomware attack can be absolutely debilitating to a company. Fortunately for all stakeholders, new, better ransomware mitigation solutions are proving themselves in the field. Nasuni is one such example, providing integrated protection, detection and recovery of crucial enterprise files that allows users to return to productivity without costly delays. Nasuni offers continuous file protection in the cloud, real-time detection of ransomware attacks at the edge, and the ability to recover millions of files across all locations in mere minutes.

Last month we hosted CloudBound22, our third annual virtual conference, and the turnout, expert participation, and content quality exceeded our expectations. This year we focused on building, maintaining, and extracting more value out of your file data cloud. Cloud insiders, industry analysts, noted journalists, and IT leaders and executives from some of our most innovative customers covered everything from cyber resilience and data intelligence to anywhere access and cloud portability.

Ransomware prevention has been discussed over the last few years, but in reality, that’s just not enough. The human vector remains one of the most popular ways in for threat actors and organizations can’t do much to change that. What is needed is a multi-pronged approach to ransomware protection. There are three pillars of protection that will ensure organizations are ready for an attack. Remember, it’s not if there’s a ransomware attack, but when

At the organizational level, as we look to 2023 and beyond, it’s now more important than ever to have a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. The challenge that most organizations struggle with is keeping everything safe.  Cybersecurity is like a game of whack-a-mole. You protect one thing, and the threat actors attack a different system. So, you protect that one better and then they are on to another system.  The more tools and systems we expose outside our internal network, the greater the struggle becomes.

Nasuni recently hosted Nasuni CloudBound22, a two-day virtual conference. The conference was about “Building Your File Data Cloud” such that the right people have continuous, timely, and convenient access to the right data from anywhere while protecting your organization’s data from all threats. Presenters acknowledged that the ideal of “Access your files from anywhere and protect them from anything” might not be fully attainable. Nevertheless, every business and IT leader that embraces these goals will enhance the performance of their business while reducing risks to the organization.

Nasuni offers advanced ransomware protection designed to help organizations prevent, detect, respond to, and rapidly recover from attacks. After listening to our customers and gathering their feedback about our recently released Ransomware Protection add-on service, we’ve bolstered our offering.  I'm thrilled to share that the soon-to-be-released Nasuni File Data Platform version 9.9 will give our customers the opportunity to take advantage of several powerful new Ransomware Protection add-on features.

We’ve been shouting from the digital rooftops for a while about Nasuni’s Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery capabilities. While our rapidly growing and very loyal customer base is still the best metric for success, I’m thrilled to report that one of the leading cybersecurity media brands just selected Nasuni as a 2022 SC Award winner for Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery.

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.

Hardly a day goes by without a ransomware attack in the news. Ransomware can impact everything from our utility companies to our hospitals and is affecting our way of life. These are scary times, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Ransomware isn’t new, and while it continues to adapt to become more sophisticated, so do anti-ransomware solutions like Nasuni and Varonis.

Growth of unstructured file data across industries has been one of the primary engines driving our success over the past ten-plus years. Every industry vertical is dealing with file growth, but it’s no surprise that healthcare is seeing more challenges than most.
