NetBackup Ransomware Resilience

By Amalia Nimigean · · 2 min read

Published in 2021. Since then, Veritas Enterprise Vault, InfoScale and Backup Exec have become Arctera products, and NetBackup is now part of Cohesity.

Every 11 seconds a company is hit with ransomware. With tactics becoming more sophisticated and incident increasing, the estimated cost of a ransomware attack is now 23 times greater than last year. Despite the awareness about ransomware, many organisations are still vulnerable because they don't have enough protection or strategy.

Virtech recommends prioritising backup and recovery as a meaningful and reliable part of a comprehensive multi-layer resiliency framework and helps to support, protect, detect and recover components of an organisation's overall cybersecurity strategy.

NetBackup, the number one enterprise backup solution is built to protect the largest and most demanding multi-cloud and data centre environments. Featuring a wide range of security capabilities ensuring data integrity and data protection, including:

  • Identity and access management solutions, featuring role-based administration with granular access control and two-factor authentication via SAML

  • Data encryption both in transit and at rest

  • Immutable indelible image management and storage where image management is agnostic to an immutable storage solution

  • Solution hardening to protect against logical attacks from a backup software and appliance perspective

NetBackup supports a large array of environments and integrates with every layer of the infrastructure stack to unify your entire data protection strategy. With a heterogeneous environment, in the event where recovery is needed due to an attack, NetBackup resiliency offers orchestrated and automated recovery to help ensure RPOs and RTOs are met at scale.

The best defence against the constantly evolving threat of ransomware is a layered comprehensive approach that also includes firewalls, email and spam filters, anti-malware, and point protection software. Veritas NetBackup, the proven enterprise-grade backup and recovery software is an excellent solution to be included in an enterprise's cybersecurity strategy.
