Preventing Ransomware Isn’t Always Possible — But Mitigating the Damage Is
Detects in seconds and recover in minutes, at scale, to a state seconds before an attack. Only Zerto can do that.
Recovery is the Cornerstone of Ransomware Resilience
Understand the fundamentals of ransomware resilience and see how Zerto enables you to protect your business and establish a recovery plan.
Ransomware Attacks Grow in Severity and Scale
Preventing ransomware is no longer enough. Increasingly sophisticated malware can slip through your defenses, encrypt your critical data, and cripple your business. With data now in disparate locations and workloads — and in the hands of more users than ever — rapid detection and recovery is key when an attack gets through. After all, no organization is immune from an attack. A study from IDC found that
- 79% of those surveyed activated a disaster response
- 83% experienced data corruption from an attack
- Nearly 60% experienced uncoverable data
Unlike backup solutions, only Zerto’s continuous data protection (CDP) technology mitigates costly risks like data loss, downtime, and disruptive recovery testing.
Take the Stress Out of Ransomware Recovery
Dramatically mitigate the risks and impact of cyberattacks by having the right ransomware strategy in place.
Detect encryption within seconds and recover corrupted applications and data within minutes of initial infection with Zerto’s automated restores.

Real-Time Ransomware Detection in Seconds
Using Zerto’s continuous data protection engine, with its always-on replication and journaling technology, data encryption from a ransomware attack can be detected within seconds. Real-time alerts can send incident response teams into action to isolate and mitigate the attack and begin the recovery process.
Don't wait for the next backup to detect ransomware
Real-time detection not only alerts you faster than competing solutions but tags checkpoints in the recovery journal to help you pinpoint when the attack began and recover data in a good state to a point seconds before encryption.
Reduce the cost and impact of a ransomware attack by detecting it more quickly and recovering more quickly with real-time detection.
