Ransomware is malicious software designed to encrypt your data and thus block access to it until you pay a ransom. However, this is usually not a solution either, as in most cases the extortionists are still unable/willing to fully recover the files, and even make additional financial demands or threaten to leak the data. So it is safe to say that you should never give in to the demands of extortionists.

But what is the solution? Prevention! With Arcserve, you can eliminate the gaps between separate data security and protection solutions by using a single vendor's comprehensive range of products to prevent problems caused by ransomware. Backup, disaster recovery and cybersecurity solutions - Arcserve can be your first and last line of defence against cyber-attacks.

Ransomware viruses are usually spread through:

• Emails and text messages containing various links or attachments containing malware for downloading malware.
• Web sites and malicious advertisements whose sole purpose is to attract users and persuade them to click on a malicious link or download a malicious program
• Social media and mobile applications that may appear to come from a trusted source, but are designed to download a virus directly from within the application or the next time a mobile device is connected to a computer.

Protect your business from huge financial losses and a bad reputation. Arcserve's AI-powered system protects your data from cyber-attacks, while award-winning backup and disaster recovery features help you avoid data loss due to human error or other problems.

A "3-2-1-1 data protection strategy" is an effective way to securely store and protect data to minimise the loss or corruption of important information. This strategy consists of four steps, which are:

3 copies: three separate copies of the data should be created. These three copies contain the same data and should preferably be stored in different locations or on different devices. If one of the copies is damaged or lost, the other two copies will still be available.
2 different media: The data should be stored on two different data storage devices. This means that one copy of the data can be on a server for example, while the other copy can be on an external hard drive / tape / NAS. This method provides protection against technical errors, data loss or compatibility problems.
1 off-site copy: at least one copy of the data must be stored on a data storage device off-site, i.e. physically located at a different site. This step provides protection against cybercriminals and natural disasters/accidents.
1 immutable copy: a copy of the data must be placed on a storage that does not allow modification or overwriting of the data (immutable). This guarantees that the data cannot be accidentally or intentionally altered or deleted.
