Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
1. CloudNordic and AzeroCloud, Danish hosting subsidiaries, experienced a serious ransomware attack in August 2023, resulting in complete data loss for CloudNordic’s customers.
2. Many organizations rely on backup systems to recover from ransomware attacks, but these backups can be easily deactivated by attackers.
3. Poorly designed backup systems often fall short in protecting against ransomware, leading organizations to consider paying the ransom to recover their systems and data.
4. Zerto offers a solution that combines continuous data protection (CDP) technology with real-time anomaly detection to intercept and mitigate ransomware attacks.
5. Zerto’s agentless architecture provides an advantage by preventing attackers from disabling backup and replication processes.
6. The Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault offers an air-gapped solution for protecting against the most serious ransomware attacks and maintaining data integrity.
7. TenCate Protective Fabrics had a positive experience using Zerto’s CDP technology to quickly recover from a ransomware attack, minimizing data loss and downtime.
8. Investing in CDP and isolated cyber recovery vaults is recommended for organizations seeking resilient protection against ransomware attacks.
