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.

We often write in this space about how our platform lines up with the evolving needs of the enterprise. But we’re biased, naturally. The leading analyst firms are not, which is why we’re excited to share Gartner’s 2022 Strategic Roadmap for Storage. The report looks at the ongoing transformation of enterprise storage as IT leaders try to answer a fundamental question: how to leverage the cloud to transform operations. The age of the storage silo is over, and we’ve moved into the era of opex-based data services solutions that can be deployed on-demand at any location, anywhere in the world.

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.

Nasuni has had a significant presence in Europe for many years now, but demand for our file data platform is rapidly expanding across the region as enterprises continue to shift away from network-attached storage and data protection technologies and modernize in the cloud. The rise of hybrid work models, the persistent threat of ransomware and the need for speed in today’s global business world are all accelerating adoption of Nasuni’s file data services platform, and we are seeing tremendous momentum in DACH.

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.

As one journey comes to an end, a new chapter begins with Nasuni. I have always felt that there had to be a better way to surface data, protect data, while making data searchable, productive, and accessible for any employee regardless of what type of data and where it is located. The combination of Nasuni and SME provides that solution.

Our customers typically come to us with an eye on solving one or two major, pressing problems. Maybe a StorSimple array is approaching EOL or they need to exit a handful of data centers. A ransomware incident may have sparked their interest. Or it could be that the high costs and extreme hassle of managing backup across multiple locations sent them searching for a more efficient cloud alternative.
