Why Choose Zerto for Ransomware Resilience
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, targeting organizations of all sizes and industries. The consequences of a ransomware attack can be devastating, with organizations losing access to critical data and systems and even facing financial losses and reputational damage. This makes ransomware recovery an essential element of ransomware resilience.
Continuous Data Protection and Journal-Based Replication
To combat the ever-growing threat of ransomware, Zerto, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, uses a combination of advanced technologies and best practices. Chief among these are continuous data protection (CDP) and journaling technology. CDP enables organizations to continuously capture and store changes to virtualized data in near real-time, allowing for near-instant recovery after data loss or corruption. Even if ransomware manages to encrypt data on a system, the CDP journal can quickly restore the most recent version of data.
Journal-based replication is another core Zerto technology. Journal-based replication creates multiple, consistent copies of data across different storage systems, ensuring that other copies can be used for recovery even if one data copy is lost or corrupted. This method also prevents ransomware from spreading since multiple copies of data provide multiple points of entry where ransomware can be isolated and removed.
Granular Recovery and Seamless Integration
A significant benefit of these technologies is granular recovery. Organizations can recover specific files or folders rather than restore an entire system or data set. This targeted and efficient recovery reduces downtime and minimizes the impact on the organization.
Organizations also benefit from Zerto’s seamless integration with other security and data management systems. Using Zerto’s APIs can provide an easy way for interface with existing infrastructure and technology investments to gain further value though automation. This can improve an organization’s overall security posture and help them respond to and recover from security events rapidly.
Zerto is a powerful tool for organizations looking to reduce the risk and impact of a ransomware attack. By using CDP, journal-based replication, data mobility, and a range of other secure technologies, Zerto helps organizations recover from attacks and protect their critical data and systems with efficiency and speed.
