Ransomware Resilience Requires a Recovery Vault
The next evolution of data protection requires ironclad cyber vaults as a key part of any organization’s ransomware resilience strategy. Cyber insurance policies, local and federal regulatory bodies, and industry associations—including Sheltered Harbor for financial institutions—are increasingly requiring fully separated data vaults that cannot be infected by ransomware. These options of last resort are critical during large-scale ransomware attacks.
The Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault meets these needs to enable enterprises to protect, detect, respond, and recover from ransomware. The Zerto vault leverages the unique strengths of Zerto replication and the Zerto journal, combined with industry-leading storage, compute and networking from HPE, to deliver rapid air-gapped recovery unlike anything else on the market.
Understand the Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault and the value it delivers in this video.

Brent Wagner, IT engineer at Southern Veterinary Partners, mentions that the most valuable feature is the disaster recovery capabilities and talks about it here:
"Zerto has enabled us to do disaster recovery in the cloud. This ability is very important because we have over 419 hospitals across the country and being able to quickly get a hospital up in Colorado while I'm in Alabama is impressive. The speed is impressive and it's easy to get it back up.
We use Zerto to protect VMs in our environment. Zerto's overall effect on our RPOs has been fantastic. Coming from our C-suite level and getting reports of how long hospitals are up versus if we do have disaster recovery, the amount of time to recover using Zerto is fantastic.
We can have them back up in as little as 45 minutes. I don't have to hear all the bad sides of it, they're very happy when the hospital's back up and making money."
Daniel Modrusan, Assistant Vice President & Principal Systems Engineer at Bangor Savings Bank, talks about a few stats on how his disaster recovery practice went from 16 hours down to 30 minutes:
"Zerto made this quite seamless, especially going between two different clouds. It's just a matter of a couple of clicks. You don't need to understand what's happening on the back end.
We use Zerto to help protect VMs in our environment. It took our RPO from around four hours and now it could be seconds. We can recover the machine in under a minute as far as the boot time. We're between five and ten seconds RPO.
The magnitude of Zerto is much faster. We used to do a disaster recovery failover of our critical systems. It took about sixteen hours and once we had implemented Zerto, it took around thirty minutes to do for the same exact systems. "
