Azure Backup Protects Against Ransomware |
used with permission from Microsoft Secure Blog |
According to the most recent CRN Quarterly Ransomware Report, malicious infrastructure attacks increased 3500% in 2016 and the percentage is expected to increase in 2017. One important way that organizations can help protect against losses in a ransomware attack is to have a backup of business critical information in case other defenses fail. Since ransomware attackers have invested heavily into neutralizing backup applications and operating system features like volume shadow copy, it is critical to have backups that are inaccessible to a malicious attacker.

Letter from the President |
|
A recent survey indicated that nearly half of top-level managers believe
cloud computing would revolutionize the way they do business. The
research also showed that the number of businesses transitioning to the
cloud is increasing. We have seen this growing trend in our region with
a steady uptick in the number of businesses asking us to assist them
with planning and implementation of a cloud migration. These businesses
range from small businesses to large enterprise operations. In fact, we
just met with a 65,000-employee business that transitioned 85% of its
data to the cloud. But, we also know that many companies haven’t started the process. Hesitation with new systems and technology is understandable – it’s a significant business decision; however, hesitating to the point of not moving forward could cost your business revenue in inefficiencies and lost collaboration opportunities. That’s why I want to encourage you to talk to us about your hesitations with cloud computing; we are happy to educate you and provide resources to alleviate your fears. I also encourage you to check out the article in this month’s newsletter on cloud technologies and how it can benefit your company.
We are hosting and attending a variety of educational opportunities for you in April—we hope you’ll join us! Check out our events listing in this month’s newsletter and other events on our events page.
Also, remember to watch your email in the next few weeks for a short (less than five minute) survey. You will receive a free webcam cover for taking time to complete it – we sincerely appreciate your feedback!
From all of us at Networking Technologies and Teceri,
James Bahm
President, Networking Technologies |
