Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage

!

Ransomware attacks increasingly target backup representations, compromising backup data to eliminate recovery options.

Small and mid-sized organizations face particular challenges from cyberattacks. Cybercriminals see SMBs and mid-sized organizations as low-hanging fruit due to their limited IT resources and budgets. You can take decisive action against ransomware by addressing critical vulnerabilities.

Immutable Backups

Immutable backups are essential for a modern cyber resilience strategy. These immutables cannot be altered or deleted once written, providing an important tool against ransomware encryption attempts according to most managed service providers. Their strategic importance extends beyond mere data protection, as they offer benefits that can have financial and operational impacts.

  1. Defense Against Insider Threats: Backups are compromised during ransomware attacks. When created optimally, creating a truly "air-tight" immutable backup provides a robust protection layer within digital recovery points.
  2. Regulatory Compliance: Immutable backups simplify compliance with regulations like NIST and GDPR, increasingly requiring verifiable data integrity and protection measures.
  3. AI-driven Ransomware Detection: Leveraging AI capabilities can enhance defenses against ransomware.

Cost Optimization

Arcserve UDP's snapshot architecture reduces storage requirements through built-in deduplication and compression while maintaining recovery capabilities. Only changed object versions create efficiency and minimize additional network traffic during recovery and replication requests.

High Availability and Simplified Management

Providing a single intuitive interface, Arcserve enables control across storage environments while reducing complexity. It supports operations stored in both cloud and on-premises environments, offering flexibility and high availability at up to 99.99%.

Operational Resilience

Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage delivers consistent, immutable backups while minimizing storage costs. Arcserve UDP integrates seamlessly, and legacy versions require an upgrade to utilize new features. Recovery methods supported include Bare Metal, Full VM, File & Folder, Instant VM, and Virtual Standby.

Conclusion

Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage represents a strategic business asset enabling organizational resilience against evolving cyber threats. By ensuring recovery options remain viable, it enhances business continuity assurance that extends beyond IT concerns to core business operations.
